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.
