The name Pymoor means "flies over bog" and the village sign shows a dragonfly settling on a bullrush in marshland.[1] It is on the edge of the Ouse Washes at Welches Dam by the New Bedford River, and as a result geographically a close neighbour of Manea, but many miles away by road.
The Pymoor Country and Agricultural show is an annual one day show.[2] A Methodist chapel is the only place of worship.[4] The area around the village was used for filming the 2007 film Atonement.
