It entertains me how small and precisely (presumably pettily) staked out the parishes were. There must be a good story why All-Hallows-the-Less, upstream from London Bridge, was specifically allocated that green space disconnected from the parish itself, seemingly cloven off of All-Hallows-the-Great's parish.

Not sure about London specifically, but this sort of fragmentation occured in medieval Europe through people donating their property to a specific church, even though there would have been a geographically closer one.
