 had been in Guildford ; Mortlake, Putney and Wimbledon had been in 

 Croydon. Home rectory in Ewell was erected by Act of Parliament in 



1705- 



Southwark included all the old parishes, with the rectories of 



Beddington, Coulsdon, Sutton and Titsey, taken from Ewell, and New- 

 ington from Croydon ; with what became Southwark Christ Church and 

 Southwark St. John's * rectories, with Southwark St. Saviour's and South- 

 wark St. Thomas' perpetual curacies.* 



Stoke included the old parishes of Guildford deanery, with East 

 Horsley taken from Croydon, and the perpetual curacies of Elsted, Fren- 

 sham, Horsell, Okewood, Pirbright, Pirford, Scale, and the donative of

 deaneries, as follows : — 



North-West Stoke, including Ash, Bisley, Byfleet, Chertsey, Chob- 

 ham, Egham, Frimley, Horsell, Pirbright, Send and Ripley, Walton-on- 



» Valor Eccl. (Rec. Com.), ii. 28, 68. From the Clerical Subsidy Rolls it would appear that the 

 alterations in the deaneries here set out were made in the reign of Henry VIII. 



' Christ Church and St. John's were erected as separate parishes by Acts of Parliament in 1 67 1 and 

 1733 respectively. 



3 These were not parishes however tiU 1541 and 1553 respectively. St. Saviour's was formed by 

 the amalgamation of the rectory of St. Margaret's and the vicarage of St. Mary Magdalen in i 5 + 1, St, 

 Thomas' on the refounding of the hospital in 1553.
