It entertains me how small and precisely (presumably pettily) staked out the parishes were. There must be a good story why All-Hallows-the-Less, upstream from London Bridge, was specifically allocated that green space disconnected from the parish itself, seemingly cloven off of All-Hallows-the-Great's parish.
