The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Essex, and diocese of London, rated in the king's books at £10. J. C. G. Grosse, Esq. was patron in 1826. The church, dedicated to St. Helen and St. Giles, has some Norman remains, particularly the arch between the nave and the chancel, and an enriched semicircular doorway. The parish is bounded on the west and south by extensive marshes and the Thames. The Rev. Lewis Bruce, D.D., in 1779, left £2. 10. per annum for teaching poor children to read."
