I have a very useful map showing the parishes adjacent to the county boundaries. I helped my to understand the geography better when I first started researching them.
We also have a similar situation now we have moved here - just 4 miles down the road Berkshire collides with Surrey and Hampshire. The attachment shows this well:

We may be distant cousins, Elizabeth! I am descended from the Richard Harding who married Hannah Horseley in Frensham, and subsequently lived in Linchmere.
