By the end of the nineteenth century, the ancient parish had been divided into 37 ecclesiastical parishes, including one for the old church, to better serve a rapidly growing population. There are currently 17 [[Church of England]] parishes completely contained within the boundaries of the ancient parish, all of which benefit from the distributions from the [[St Pancras Lands Trust]] and most of which are in South Camden Deanery in the [[Bishop of Edmonton (London)|Edmonton Area]] of the [[Diocese of London]].
