	Ceremonial counties of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ceremonial counties of England are areas of England that are appointed a Lord-Lieutenant, and are defined by the government with reference to the metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties of England.
		The largest difference was the existence of the County of London, created both an administrative county and a "county" as the Act, which covered parts of the historic counties of Middlesex, Kent and Surrey.
		This led to a resurrection of a distinction between the local government counties and the ceremonial or geographic counties used for Lieutenancy, and also to the adoption of the term 'ceremonial counties', which although not used in statute was used in the House of Commons prior to the arrangements coming into effect.

	Historic counties of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The historic counties have (even if the 1844 changes be accepted) many anomalies, and many small exclaves, where a parcel of land would be politically part of one county despite not being physically connected to the rest of the county.
		These counties are the ones usually shown on maps of the early to mid 20th century, and largely displaced the historic counties in such uses.
		The vice counties, used for biological recording, are based on the historic counties but with modification such as the subdivision of larger areas.

	Church of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Church of England traces its formal corporate history from the 597 Augustinian mission, stresses its continuity and identity with the primitive universal Western church, and notes the consolidation of its particular independent and national character in the post-Reformation events of Tudor England.
		England adhered to the Roman Catholic church for nearly a thousand years, before the church separated from Rome in 1534, during the reign of King Henry VIII.
		Historically, individual parishes both raised and spent the vast majority of the Church's funding, meaning that clergy pay depended on the wealth of the parish, and parish advowsons (the right to appoint clergy to particular parishes) could become extremely valuable gifts.
