    Historic churches in Berkshire Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire experience the passing of time visitchurches.org.uk/daysout 3 absorb an atmosphere of tranquility Step inside some of the churches of the Thames Valley and the Chilterns and you’ll discover art and craftsmanship to rival that of a museum. 2 1 The churches of the Thames Valley and the Chilterns contain some remarkable treasures. Yet sometimes it’s not the craftsmanship but the atmosphere that fires the imagination – the way windows scatter gems of light on an old tiled floor, or the peace of a quiet corner that has echoed with prayer for centuries. All the churches in this leaflet have been saved by The Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust is a charity that cares for more than 340 churches in England. This is one of 18 leaflets that highlight their history and treasures. dragon slayer For more information on the other guides in this series, fiery dragons and fearless saints as well as interactive maps and downloadable information, come alive in dramatic colour at see visitchurches.org.uk St Lawrence, Broughton 5 Lower Basildon, St Bartholomew 1 Berkshire A riverside church built by the people, for the people • 13th-century church near a beautiful stretch of the Thames • Eight centuries of remarkable memorials This striking flint-and-brick church stands in a pretty churchyard by the Thames, filled with memorials to past parishioners and, in early spring, a host of daffodils. Jethro Tull, the father of modern farming, has a memorial here (although the whereabouts of his grave is unknown) and there is a moving marble statue of two young brothers drowned in the Thames in 1886.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Nature reserve, high hills, views, woodland, pub In Brief This is a walk with legendary views over the Oxford plain from this high escarpment and National Nature Reserve. The main option takes you in and out of typical Chiltern woodland, rich in tall beeches, with open grassy meadows in between and an excellent and popular* stop for refreshments (to make a reservation* at the Fox and Hounds , ring 01491-612599). There are no unavoidable nettles so bare legs should not be a problem. The terrain is generally firm so strong walking shoes or trainers are adequate, except on the longer option in the wetter seasons when boots become a necessity. Your dog will thrive on the shorter options but on the longer option he will have to stay on the lead almost all the way. The walk begins at the Cowleaze Wood car Bird's Eye View park, near Lewknor, Oxfordshire, nearest postcode HP14 3YL . This car park is really a Aston long track, parallel to the road, with a number of Rowant parking bays.
