(Great & Little Corringham)

Corringham is both a parish and two villages, Great Corringham and Little Corringham, which form one long village about two miles east of Gainsborough and nine miles south of Scunthorpe. The parish itself is bordered on the north by Pilham parish, on the east by Willoughton parish, to the south by Springthorpe parish. The parish covers 6,270 acres and the hamlet of Somerby is in this parish. The villages are between two branches of the River Eau.

The parish was in the Willingham sub-district of the Gainsborough Registration District. In 1891, the parish was reassigned to the Marton sub-district of the Gainsborough Registration District.
