Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labour of the People in London, Vol. 7: Third Series: Religious Influences, Summary The organization of the Church of England is bound up with the parish System. The ground of London is cut up into ecclesiastical parishes varying greatly in size, their boundaries differing more or less from those of every other administrative area. These boundaries are recorded at Somerset House, and when the general Census is taken, the dwellers in each parish are enumerated by a special tabulation. The boundaries are also marked on maps in possession of the Archdeacons. Some of the incumbents, when issuing a report of their parish work, insert a Sketch map or a list of the streets and parts of streets included. Moreover, in most parishes some form of parochial visitation is carried out, and not infrequently every house is visited, spreading the knowledge and bring ing with it a sense of the presence of the clergy which justifies them in saying, 'the people know us; they know we stand ready to help.'
