In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Parsons Green like this:

PARSONS GREEN, a hamlet in Fulham parish, Middlesex; on the river Thames, ½ a mile E of Fulham.
Sir T. Bodley resided here in 1605-9;
Lord Bacon, at Vaughan's, in 1621;
Richardson, at Pitt's Place;
and Addison, at Sandy-End.

Parsons Green through time:
Parsons Green is now part of Hammersmith and Fulham district.

NOTE: The Google Librarian says there are many PARSONS, and the GREEN doesn't belong to any one of them.
