In England, a civil parish is a type of administrative parish used for local government, they are a territorial designation which is the lowest tier of local government below districts and counties, or their combined form, the unitary authority. Civil parishes can trace their origin to the ancient system of ecclesiastical parishes which historically played a role in both civil and ecclesiastical administration; civil and religious parishes were formally split into two types in the 19th century and are now entirely separate. The unit was devised and rolled out across England in the 1860s.

According to Cambridge University the important meeting of 16 May 1008 was held at Kings Enham. This meeting of 40 nobles including King Aethelred and Bishop Wulfstan with 350 retainers, put into draft a decree stating that England would now worship one Christian God, one King, and that all men would be subject to law. This signified the rebirth of England and it is thought that the reference to Lambs being raised here is not a reference to livestock, but to the followers of God, "The Flock".
