Abstract:		 Study of the (pre-1811) multi-township parishes of Cheshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire and Montgomeryshire shows them to be in the same category as those of Northern England, where there are usually several townships per parish (over thirty in some parishes) and the average area is over six square miles per parish. By contrast, in SE England the average is less than 1¾ townships per parish and the average size of parish is under 4½ sq miles. While it is true that economic factors are important - an area tends to have as many churches as it can afford to build and maintain - other formative influences include early patterns of settlement, whether the early church was Celtic or English, and the degree of Anglo-Saxon or Norman political control. It also becomes clear that a major part in shaping the rural landscape has been played by diocesan policies, which have influenced social and economic developments as well as spiritual matters.
