Stanford-le-Hope was an ancient parish. It was abolished as a civil parish in 1936 on the creation of Thurrock Urban District, which in turn became the modern borough of Thurrock in 1974. The ecclesiastical parish has been merged with neighbouring Mucking to form a Church of England parish called "Stanford-le-Hope with Mucking".
