St Mary's Church in Laira commemorates Thomas Richard Archer Briggs who was a remarkable Botanist who lived at Fursdon House on Blunts Lane in Estover. He was a Plymouth botanist and lay‑reader at Crabtree Mission whose life joined science with faith. He is best remembered for drawing attention to the extremely rare Plymouth Pear, a hedgerow tree that remains one of Britain’s most endangered native species. His careful observation ensured its recognition, and todaay it holds the unique distinction of being the only tree species protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. Because of its rarity, seeds from its fruit have been deposited at Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank to safeguard its future. Briggs also preserved the lore of the Plymouth Strawberry in his celebrated Flora of Plymouth.

Annie Jenkin who was one of our members of staff but who sadly passed away in 2024 composed a poem that was published in an anthology of poetry about the Plymouth Pear. We would like to remember our colleague alongside the fascinating Thomas Richard Archer Briggs.

🔋 How are you recharging this week? 🔋
This week, I’m making space for some much-needed self care. Slowing down, being kind to myself, and embracing the little rituals that bring comfort and calm.
Whether it’s a quiet evening, a skincare treat, or simply saying “no” to the rush - it’s all about refilling the cup so I can show up fully.
✨ What’s your go-to way to recharge?
Let’s remind each other that rest is productive, and self-care is powerful.
