Plumbers were considered essential craftsmen in ensuring the proper functioning of water systems and preventing leaks.
The Plummer surname became established in Ireland during the period of Norman influence, which began in the 12th century. The Normans brought with them the surname system, and over time, the Irish adopted and modified these surnames to fit their native language and customs.
