| • | St. Budeaux is a ward in Plymouth, Devon, England. It has a Catholic church called St. Paul's Church situated in Pemros Road. It also has a Methodist church, Baptist church and two Church of England churches. St. Budeaux has a public library at the bottom of Victoria Road. There are three pubs - Cornwall Gate, Trelawney Arms and the Fellowship. Most children of secondary school age in the area attend Tamarside Community College in the nearby ward of Kings Tamerton - St. Budeaux itself does not have a secondary school. There are four primary schools - St. Pauls Roman Catholic Primary School, Victoria Road Primary school and a compound containing both Plaistow Hill Infant School and St. Budeaux Foundation School. Normandy Way, a road running from St. Budeaux's central road Victoria Road through to the Tamar Bridge, was originally a site housing American soldiers during World War II.
St. Budeaux itself is actually much smaller than local references would indicate. While the official boundaries of the ward itself cover approximately 5 sq km, St. Budeaux is often considered to include the neighbouring wards of Barne Barton and Kings Tamerton. The St. Budeaux area, in particular Barne Barton, is one of the poorest areas of the city of Plymouth, and is known for high levels of crime, a reputation not helped by its immediate proximity to the ward of North Prospect, widely considered a much more impoverished and violent area of the city.
The ward is also the last stop in Devon before crossing the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall and into the more affluent town of Saltash. The Tamar Bridge is one of St. Budeaux's most striking sights. The area has two railway stations, St Budeaux Ferry Road and St Budeaux Victoria Road.
