St. Mary's church has stood in the village of Old Corringham since Saxon times. Parts of the south walls of the chancel, nave and the west tower are 11th century. There are some interesting monumental brasses, particularly that of Richard de Belton, Rector of the parish, circa 1340.
The tower has been described as "one of the most important Early Norman monuments in the county".
The un-buttressed tower has two tiers of large flat blank niches below the parapet. The middle niche of the upper row on each side is pierced, and has a colonnette set in, as can be seen in the above image. These pierced niches serve as a bell opening. The tower is topped by a pyramid roof.
