Parish of St. Mary (Newington)

The Parish of St. Mary (Newington) began approximately a mile south of London Bridge and is south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Stow 1598, sig. Y5r). St. Mary (Newington) was also referred to as Newington Butts, a name that is believed to originate from the ancient archery butts that were set up on the fields of the parish (Malden; Lysons). One of the notable sites in the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) was Newington Butts, which was among the earliest playhouses to exist during the golden age of Elizabethan theatre (Johnson 26). While Stow discusses the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) in his Survey of London, it was technically a distant parish, which lay outside the Corporation of London’s jurisdiction (Boulton 12). As a result, the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) fell under the control of Surrey authorities (Boulton 9).
