St Sepulchre (parish)

St Sepulchre was an ancient parish partly within the City of London and partly within Middlesex, England.

For the church, see St Sepulchre-without-Newgate.

For civil purposes it was divided into two civil parishes, each called St Sepulchre,[1] although the parish in the City of London was also known as St Sepulchre without Newgate.[2][3] The boundary between the two parishes cut right though the Smithfield market.

The parish in the City of London was abolished in 1907. The parish outside the City of London became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury in 1900 and was abolished in 1915. The area is now split between the City of London and the London Borough of Islington.

gollark: A vaguely convincing argument I heard about the humans-liking-punishment thing is that it effectively works as a species-wide precommitment to punish people for doing bad things, which discourages people from doing those bad things in advance.
gollark: I mean, the only real arguments I can see for it:- humans just like punishing people if they do bad things (for evolutionary psychology reasons?)- a deterrent, but that only works if... people actually believe it as a serious threat
gollark: Also, it's pretty pointless.
gollark: ...
gollark: I also do not believe in the afterlife, but I am still against eternal torture abstractly speaking.
