In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Tothill Fields like this:
Tothill Fields, eccl. dist., Westminster St Margaret and St John par., Middlesex, in parl. bor. of Westminster, adjacent to St James' Park, London, pop. 5500.
The location is actually that of Westminster Cathedral, which now covers the site of Tothill Fields.
