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.
