St Margaret with Bishops Fee
« on: Sunday 06 April 08 13:27 BST (UK) »
In 1841 my ancestor's address is given as Morledge St., St Margaret with Bishops Fee, Leicester. Is this the name of a parish? Does anyone know whereabouts it was/is? Thanks

Greeting’s & Welcome Chirp….

Morledge Street is still there today although it’s undergoing major redevelopments at the moment & in the future it will be part of
The St. George’s Quarter of Leicester.

It runs south from Humberstone Road to Southampton Street.
Second on the right going out of the City along Humberstone Road from it’s junction with Rutland Street.

St. Margaret’s with Bishops fees ? ……

At that time St. Margaret’s Parish was the biggest Parish in the Borough of the City, taking up the whole of the Eastern side of the City. going from the North round to the South.
Because of the vast area the Church of St. Margaret’s remained as the Mother Church
Several Churches were built  on the outskirts and could only perform certain services Baptisms Burials....So had to pay a fee to the Bishop…….  But the marriages had to be in the Mother Church. Untill much latter when these Churches became a Parish in their own rights. 

( Southampton Street is in the Parish of St.George’s )

Hope this helps ?
