Synopsis

This book explores the complex history of ecclesiastical divisions in England, a topic often overlooked by other similar works. The author, while examining the history of the parish of St. Andrew, Hounslow, demonstrates that everything within its bounds, and adjacent parishes, was subject to the ecclesiastical laws of the time. This includes the seemingly exempt Inns of Court, such as Gray's Inn which was at the time the subject of legal debate and contestation. The author's keen eye for detail, in this meticulously researched book, casts light on the true nature of these so-called extra-parochial locations, and affirms their ecclesiastical status throughout English history.
