Southwark St Saviour was a civil parish and part of the ancient Borough of Southwark. It was formed in 1541 from the union of the parishes of St Margaret and St Mary. In 1899 it lost its governance functions and it was abolished in 1930 but it retains its charitable purpose, supporting communities in Southwark today, through its progressive grant-making programmes and historic almshouses for Southwark’s older residents.
