Corringham is a parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, sited 3 miles E of Gainsborough. The church has a W tower originally of the late 11thc /early 12thc but heavily restored by Bodley and Garner in the early 1880s. The nave, with an added E bay, and the chancel with its N chapel are from the 13thc; the clerestory was added c1450. The impressive W tower arch into the nave and the N arcade of the nave are Romanesque.

According to Domesday Book, the king, William I, owned land in 'Springthorpe and Corringham' and there was a church and a priest here in 1086. As Greenway has noted, the church of Great Corringham was granted by Henry I to Lincoln Cathedral as a new prebend of Corringham sometime around 1114. The first holder of this prebend was a priest by the name of Brand (see Greenway, 62-63).

Stocker and Everson have suggested that the Corinthian capitals of the W tower bell openings, though very probably dating to the 1880s restoration, may be based on originals, as Bodley was known to have had a particular sensibility toward historical renovation. The mason’s mark on the E respond here is similar to one found in All Saints church in Winteringham (21 miles to the N) on an arch in the nave, S aisle arcade, bay two, S side, first order. The abacus on this respond, with its incised angle volutes, is not common in the county.
