The Plympton community is mourning the loss of their former vicar, Rev’d Margaret Cameron, who passed away on August 30.
Rev’d Cameron was the vicar at Plympton St Mary’s Church for just over 10 years, taking up her post in the spring of 2003.
Rev’d Cameron came to Plympton after previously being the rector of Hemyock with Culm Davy, Clayhiddon and Culmstock in Exeter and before that she served as curate of St Peter’s in Budleigh Salterton and later in Whipton.
During her time at St Mary’s she forged strong links between the church and the community and in 2013 she was made an Honorary Stannator of Plympton in recognition of her tireless work in the local community.
Rev’d Cameron retired from her Ministry in November 2013 and a farewell lunch held at Plympton Conservative Club that month was attended by a capacity 100 people.
During the course of her ministry Reverend Cameron was made a prebendary – a form of canon with a role in the administration of a cathedral or collegiate church.
