The custom of perambulating the boundaries of the parish was observed annually during Rogation week. To this end, the priest and his congregation would pass from one boundary stone to another. The parish boundaries were first fully mapped in 1851-2; they may have been substantially those that existed in the Middle Ages. Basically, St Mary's comprised the northern part of the town and, to the north thereof, the township of Molescroft. At the point where the boundary crossed Woodhall Way (formerly Pighill Lane), it was and still is marked by a boundary stone inscribed 'ST MARY'S'. The boundary wall displays a modern sign indicating the beginning of Molescroft. At this point, the common boundary is today delineated by a public right-of-way extending to the junction of Molescroft Road and Bleach Yard.
