  • Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire County Guide
    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.

  • Newsletter 1: GORING GAP BOAT CLUB - the Search for a Permanent Home
    Progress at last! We are delighted to tell you that work at our new boathouse site has started with the construction of the access road and the main building will follow later this year. Our growing membership means that a very large number of you have joined since our search for a permanent home began in 2005 so this newsletter is to bring a common level of information about the project and its timeline to the whole club. What follows is the story leading up to our search and the early trials and tribulations. It continues with details of how the project will now move ahead and how it has been and will be funded, ending with when we can move in and the plans and funding beyond that to complete the full scope of our planning permission. Newsletter 1: GORING GAP BOAT CLUB - The Search For a Permanent Home The Early days The Club was founded in Goring over 25 years ago, and based there in temporary accommodation until the mid-2000s. During this time at least two potential permanent sites for a boathouse were actively pursued - one at the Thames Bank Nursing home in Goring, and another at the Swan in Streatley. In the former case, the landowner had a change of mind. In the latter case, the Environment Agency objected on the grounds that the reach between Goring Lock and Cleeve Lock is too short and therefore unsuitable for a rowing club. This objection was significant, as obviously it would similarly apply to any other sites on this particular reach - effectively ruling out anywhere in either Goring or Streatley itself.

  • Account of Purley on Thames My Purley Grandparents by Tom Farmer
    Account of Purley on Thames My Purley Grandparents by Tom Farmer R200370 2/6/2017 This series of articles was published in Purley Parish News between June 1989 and January 1990 My mother's parents, Charles and Mary Ann Heath, came to live in Purley towards the end of the last century. They live first in a thatched cottage opposite the present shops in Purley Rise but soon moved to a semi-detached cottage in the Street which at one time with its neighbour looked as though it was going to derelict but have both been well restored and turned into one cottage. They came from the small village of Brightwalton on the Berkshire downs about half way between Newbury and Wantage, also a semi-detached cottage called the "pit" built into a disused chalk pit, a typical two up and two down, like their new home. Grandad was a farm labourer and Gran had been in service like so many couples in the country at that time. In that cottage they had eight children - Florence (my mother), Thomas, Arthur, Charles, Alice, Andrew, Sarah and william, although my mother was out at work when the last was born. As far as I know they had all left home when they came to Purley, Grandad to work in the same job for Mr Saunders whose farm was at the bottom of New Hill. My parents kept a small general shop in West Reading and, when as a small child my mother said my grandmother was coming to see us, I thought she meant my father's mother (who was widowed and lived with us for a part of the year).
