Plemstall Crossing
The hamlet contains only a farm and former level crossing keeper's house, in addition to the Grade I listedSt Peter's Church.[1] The church stands on a slightly elevated area which was known as "The Isle of Chester", the surrounding area formerly being marsh. The church is believed to have been built on the site of Plegmund's hermitage, who is believed to have lived in there before he became Archbishop of Canterbury in AD 890.
