Plumpton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Weston and Weedon,[1] in the West Northamptonshire district, in the ceremonial county of Northamptonshire, England. It is within the ecclesiastical parish of "St Mary & St Peter Lois Weedon with Weston and Plumpton".[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 32.[3]
The church of St John is grade II listed and is now cared for by a charity, the St. John the Baptist, Plumpton, Heritage Trust. The Manor House is grade II* listed; some of its associated gates and walls are separately grade II listed.
The name 'Plumpton' means 'Plum-tree farm/settlement'.[4]
The 1870-72 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales describes Plumpton as having a population of 42 in 12 houses, and describes the church as "good" and having a "pinnacled tower".[5] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Weedon Lois to form Weston and Weedon.[6] [7]
