Chronicles Of The Plumsted Family

Excerpt from Chronicles of the Plumsted Family, With Some Family Letters: Compiled and Arranged With Notes The word Plunisted is derived from "Plomb," a commune near Avranelies in Normandy, and the ancient Saxon word "Staede," changed to Stedc and Sted, signifying "a station, place or farm house," I hence the name Piumsted, as applied to a family, may be interpreted as house or land holder from the Commune of "Plomb." The name was originally written "De Plomstede," and in Doomsday it occurs as Plumstede, but in signatures it appears to have been almost invariably written Piumsted. Plumstead (the form now used in England) as applied to places may be found in Norfolk and Kent, there being three parishes in the former and one in the latter county. Plumstede parish in Norfolk is situated in North Erpingliam hundred, in the Union of Erpingham, 151 miles North of London, and was the "Lordship" of William Karl Warren, granted to him by William the Conqueror, Turold having been deprived of it. The "De Plomstede" family having come over from Normandy and settled in this parish, they were enfeoffed of this "Lordship" under Earl Warren, during the reign of William T. (1072-1087).
