Parish of St. Thomas Southwark

The Parish of St. Thomas Southwark was located between the Parish of St. Saviour (Southwark) to the north and the Parish of St. Olave (Southwark) to the south (Boulton 10-11). According to Stow, the Parish of St. Thomas Southwark was one of five parishes in Southwark alongside St. Saviour (Southwark), St. George (Southwark), St. Olave (Southwark), and St. Mary Magdalen (Bermondsey), although modern accounts place St. Mary Magdalen (Bermondsey) outside of the borough (Boulton 9). In 1550, Edward VI granted the Corporation of London rights over all waifs and strays, treasure trove, deodand, goods of felons and fugitives and escheats and forfeitures in the borough of Southwark, which included the Parish of St. Thomas Southwark (Malden).
