Parish meeting

A parish meeting is a meeting that all the electors in a civil parish in England are entitled to attend.

In some cases, where a parish or group of parishes has fewer than 200 electors, the parish meeting can take on the role of a parish council, with statutory powers, and elects a chairman and a clerk to act on the meeting's behalf. Every parish in England has a parish meeting.
