A chapelry was a subdivision of an ecclesiastical parish in England and parts of Lowland Scotland up to the mid 19th century.
12-533: A chapelry had a similar status to a township , but was so named as it had a chapel of ease (chapel) which was the community's official place of assembly in religious and secular matters. The fusion of these matters – principally tithes – was heavily tied to the main parish church. However, the medieval church's doctrine of subsidiarity when the congregation or sponsor was wealthy enough, supported their constitution into new parishes. Chapelries were first widespread in northern England and in larger parishes across

Offerings, tithes (but a smaller portion after c. 1660) and an annual donation of wax went from

The Poor Law Amendment Act 1867 declared that all areas that levied a separate rate should become civil parishes; thus their number approximately equalled the sum of ecclesiastical parishes and chapelries.

108-411: The chapelry: typically an area roughly equal to the old extent of the manor or a new industrious area. The chapels, as opposed to mission churches or mission rooms, had a date of consecration, dedication to a saint or saints, and typically their own clergy. They were by and large upgraded, that is (re-)constituted, into parishes. A small minority fell redundant and were downgraded or closed, though at
120-476: The country which had populous outlying places. Except in cities, the entire coverage of the parishes (with very rare extra-parochial areas ) was fixed in medieval times by reference to a large or influential manor or a set of manors .
