Eton Wick, the Jubilee River and the Thames
Eton Wick, The Jubilee River and The Thames 1. Church of St Mary Magdalene The chapel of St Mary Magdalene, Boveney stands on a site that has been a place of worship since before the Roman conquest. Its origins are obscure but it is first mentioned in 1266, when the offerings there were assigned to the vicarage of Burnham. Bargees and other riverside folk probably used the chapel when there was a busy wharf nearby used for transporting timber from Windsor Forest. Initially people from a large surrounding area used it, but by the 18th Century the vicar only held services once a month. The church was declared redundant in 1975 and it was planned to demolish it or convert it into residential accommodation. However, following a local campaign, it passed into the care of the charity 'The Friends of Friendless Churches" in 1983 and the charity holds a 999-year lease. They try and encourage use of the chapel for concerts, exhibitions or other events, but there's a problem: St Mary Magdalene does not have running water, a lavatory, an electricity or gas supply. Therefore there is no heating or lighting. Mooring a passenger boat alongside is suggested to solve this problem. 2. Eton Wick After the construction of Eton College in the 15th century, a small group of houses were built immediately west of the college grounds. These were the homes of shoemakers, tailors, and other people who worked in the college. The hamlet was physically separated from the rest of Eton by land owned by the college, known as the wick. -
Our Hotels for the Pre-Cruise Tour to the Uk 2019
OUR HOTELS FOR THE PRE-CRUISE TOUR TO THE UK 2019 Here is some information about the three unique hotels we will be staying at during our 5-night pre-cruise tour. Everybody has a past and at The Oakley Court, ours includes royalty, spies, Napoleon and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We weren’t always a luxury country house hotel in Windsor. Life began way back before the days of Dracula dining at our table and The Phantom staging his famous opera. But before we go any further, we promise you there’s no skeletons in our closet. You can put the cushions down – behind the scenes, our story is thriller-free. The scene begins with a flashback, a Time Warp to our unique history. Dating back to 1859 before our movie career even began, a chap called Sir Richard Hall-Say built the house for his young wife and their three children. Sir Richard later sold the property, after his appointment as High Sheriff of Berkshire, to the rather well-connected Lord Otho Fitzgerald. It was during his time at The Oakley Court that famous names began to grace the stage including the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII!), Leslie Ward (The famed SPY artist of Vanity Fair) and Napoleon IV, the last survivor of the Napoleon dynasty – to name just a few. After changing hands from a Sheriff to a founder of Avery Scales and then his son, it wasn’t until The Oakley Court was bought by eccentric Frenchman, Ernest Olivier, that the hotel became the famous backdrop for classic horror. -
