The Roman Catholic English Hierarchy was re-established in 1850. The Church infrastructure had to be re-built.


In 1856 Missions were established. These were the precursors of Catholic parishes. The 1856 Mission boundaries were point-to-point straight lines. I have not been able to find the local 1856 boundaries.


In 1868 the Mission boundaries were revised so that some of the boundaries ran along roads, or rivers, or railways. The information about local 1868 boundaries comes from "Synodi Dioeceseos Suthwarcensis" published in 1868.


By 1879 East Dulwich had its own Mission. I have not been able to find the 1879 boundary. The entry for St Anthony Padua from Bernard Kelly's 1907 "Historical Notes on English Catholic Missions" is attached.


Does anyone have more information?

St Thomas More has a booklet from the 1970s on local Catholic history - have you seen this? I can't remember if it will satisfy your penchant for historical cartography but it has a good history of how they organised the early Dulwich mission around Bassano St

Mike,


Michael Smith's book "The Dulwich Catholics 1879 To 1973" does what it says on the tin. It starts in 1879.


I want to try to go back earlier.


The only other lead I have at the moment is Camberwell Vestry's (the fore-runner of Southwark Council for East Dulwich) (alleged) c1840 petition to Parliament for money to have the Irish deported. It's on the to do list.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
