Extra-Parochial was an area of land located in a civil or ecclesiastical parish other than that to which it belonged. Extra-parochial land might be acquired, for example, by a neighbouring parish which required an additional consecrated burial ground, its own being full. Extra-parochial land was not subject to the jurisdiction of the parish which owned it, no poor or church rates were paid to the parish in which it was located and, in theory, tithe money was due to the crown.
