The ParishThe parish of St James Dukes Place lay in the extreme east of the ancient city of London, close to its border with neighbouring wider Middlesex. The parish was created in the early 17th century out of the wider parish of St Katherine Creechurch as the residents found worship there "uncongenial". The parish was centred on the boundary between the edge of the city area and the parish of St Botolph Aldgate which was shared between the city and Middlesex. Once a tightly packed residential area today this is the heart of the city's commercial centre, a warren of offices blocks and with few residents. The parish lies just a few hundred yards from the nearby Thames at Tower Bridge and most drainage is nowadays subsurface. The parish sits at around 10 metres above the sea and land rises gently northwards away from the river. The parish covered a tiny area, estimated to be around 80 acres yet supported a population of close to 800 parishioners. |
