Some parishes may be noted as being extra-parochial - " An extra-parochial area was land uninhabited in
Anglo-Saxon times and outside the jurisdiction of any civil
or ecclesiastical parish.
No poor or church rates were paid, though tithes in theory
went to the Crown. A resident could choose the nearest
convenient parish for baptisms, etc."
