St. Mary Magdalen (Bermondsey) (Parish)

St. Mary Magdalen was located to the east of the parish of St. Olave Southwark, just outside of the area depicted on the Agas map (Boulton 10-11). According to Stow, St. Mary Magdalen was one of five parishes in Southwark alongside St. Saviour, St. Thomas, St. George, and St. Olave; however, modern accounts place St. Mary Magdalen outside of the borough of Southwark (Boulton 9). Jeremy Boulton notes that St. Mary Magdalen was technically an outparish, which did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of London (Boulton 9).
