Civil parishes do not cover the whole of England and mostly exist in rural areas.

Nevertheless, traditional parishes still exist in various capacities, mainly as public service districts.

The parish had existed as an independent entity since 1908.

From 1918 to 1925, two separate parishes existed in the same building.

For local government purposes the parish had only existed within the boundaries of the former rural district councils.

Below the district level, civil parishes exist, though not uniformly.

Civil parishes existed in urban districts, but did not have parish councils.

In 1535, the Reformation was introduced, after a parish had existed since at least 1219 according to records.

These parishes existed as primary political divisions until the 19th century.

The parish has existed since 1947, but the Church was blessed and dedicated in 1962.
