Thurrock Church Brasses

Thurrock contains 17 traditional Church of England parishes (ie parishes that were in existence before 1850) and straddles the boundary between Chafford and Barstaple hundreds. Orsett and West Thurrock were within the Commissary of Essex and Hertfordshire; all other Thurrock parishes were within the Archdeaconry of Essex. Until the middle of the 19th century all Thurrock parishes were in the Diocese of London.
