Churches at Corringham, Fobbing.
 

Fresh Hope Community Church (2024 Streetview) is on Victoria Road. TQ 6849 8277. It stands back to back with another building which is labelled as Chapel (Peculiar People) on O.S. maps of the late 19th century, when the present building hadn't yet been built. Presumably this is the present church's immediate predecessor. It was seen by Streetview in 2024, and stands on Southend Road. Link.

Gateway People's Centre on High Street and Central Road, as seen by Streetview in 2024. In 2009 it had signage for Hope Centre - Streetview. TQ 6851 8233. Facebook.

The former Methodist Church (2024 Streetview) is on High Street. Older maps label it as Wesleyan. TQ 6851 8237. It was bought in 2023 with the intention of changing it into Stanford Jamme Masjid - link.

Our Lady and St. Joseph (R.C.) is on Southend Road and Scratton Road, and was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 6854 8262. Link. The history page dates its consecration to 1993, replacing an earlier church of the same site of the early 20th century. It includes a photo of the earlier church.

St. Margaret of Antioch, of Norman foundation, restored in Victorian times. It still retains much earlier stonework, and some fine carvings, tombs and monuments of the Fetherston and Scratton families. TQ 6843 8226. © Brian Thompson. Link. Grade I listed. A churchyard tomb is also listed, as grade II.
 

Corringham
The Baptist Church (2024 Streetview) on Central Avenue. TQ 7004 8361. Link.
Corringham Community Church (2024 Streetview) on Fobbing Road. It stands right next to a cemetery, and the obviously fairly recent new frontage prompts the thought that it might originally have been a Mortuary Chapel. TQ 7115 8377. Link.
St. John the Evangelist on Springhouse Road and St. John's Way, as seen by Streetview in 2024. Link.
St. Mary the Virgin. TQ 7098 8329. © Mark Summers. Link. Grade I listed.

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on High Road, at TQ 7166 8412. It was seen by Streetview in 2024. It's dated here (quoting from an old directory) to 1887. O.S. maps suggest it was still active at least up to 1960, presumably as Methodist.
