Where to stay in Pennycross
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Beds in Pennycross are Plymouth beds in practice, since the district sits inside the city and a traveller booking here is really choosing a residential address on the same street network. Manadon House marks one end. If you want a residential address rather than a city-centre one, Pennycross answers that, with the Church of St Pancras and the streets around Manadon House setting the tone of the district.
The choice is not a wide one.

About Pennycross
What are the main landmarks in Pennycross?
Manadon House and the Church of St Pancras are the only two landmarks the record fixes in Pennycross, and between them they stand for everything the district offers a visitor who has come to look at buildings. The list is short. A church and a house, both named, in a Plymouth district that otherwise runs to residential streets.
Sightseeing proper belongs to Plymouth itself, and Pennycross works better as the place a traveller sleeps than as the place a traveller spends the day.
What is the history of Pennycross?
Dates are thin here. Pennycross carries no founding year in its record, and the district's past has to be read off the two structures that survive under names of their own, Manadon House and the Church of St Pancras. What is written down sits at the level of Plymouth, and of England and the United Kingdom beyond it, rather than at the level of a single district.
The house keeps its name. So does the church, and those two names are the whole of what a visitor can hold on to before the streets take over.
Where is Pennycross?
Plymouth holds Pennycross among its districts, the city itself lying in England and, beyond that, within the United Kingdom.
