St. Thomas Southwark (Parish)

The parish of St. Thomas was located between the parish of St. Saviour to the north and the parish of St. Olave to the south (Boulton 10-11). According to Stow, the parish of St. Thomas was one of five parishes in Southwark alongside St. Saviour, St. George Southwark, St. Olave Southwark, and St. Mary Magdalen, although modern accounts place St. Mary Magdalen 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 (Malden).
