A Parish is an ecclesiastical district having its own church and a member of the clergy. It is also the smallest unit of local government in a rural area. This derives from the Old English word 'parysche'. It is also a surname, but does not have a specific origin unless linked in some way to the ecclesiastical explanation.

What does the name parish mean?

A parish is an ecclesiastical unit in the Catholic and Anglican churches. The parish is the area served by a parish church and a parish priest.
