Edition 2. 1998 WELCOME TO THE RIVER THAMES The Environment Agency acts as the Guardian of the Environment, protecting and improving it for future generations by regulation and direct action. The Agency's Thames Region, which embraces the Navigation and Recreation Service provided by the former National Rivers Authority, encourages the pursuit of a variety of recreational activities along the 136 miles of the freshwater River Thames for which it is the managing authority. It achieves this through the efforts of lock staff and Navigation Inspectors throughout the length of the non-tidal river. The Thames is an attraction for numerous activities: anglers, boating enthusiasts, canoeists, dinghy sailors and yachtsmen, holidaymakers in hired craft, naturalists, oarsmen, swimmers and sub-aqua divers and walkers. With so many interests competing for space, is the river large enough to accommodate them all without conflict and risk to personal safety? The answer is yes - provided that all river users are safety conscious and practise good river manners. One of the Agency's jobs is to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy their activity, without impairing the enjoyment of others.

  • A Walk Around Laleham Village

    A Walk Around Laleham Village

    A Walk Around Laleham Village The long history of our village has been well recorded in ‘The Laleham Common Place Book’ and in ‘Our Dear Laleham’; both books were written and compiled by the late Oswald Adamson. The village name is recorded as ‘Laelham’ on 10th Century charts; the word probably coming from ‘lael’ meaning twig and from ‘ham’ meaning water meadow or village. 5th Century Iron Age spearheads have been found in the Thames at the site of the former Laleham Ferry, suggesting that this has long been used as a crossing point. The foundations of our Parish Church of All Saints date back to the 12th Century and records show that in the 13th Century the monks of Westminster had their "Grange" and watermill on the banks of the Thames, very close to the site of Laleham Abbey. In 1970 much of the centre of the village was designated as a Conservation Area in order to protect our heritage for future generations. The walk was planned and compiled by Susan de Pear, on behalf of The Laleham Society (now Laleham Residents Association), with acknowledgement to all contributors to the two Laleham books from which much of the information is gleaned. Thanks also to local artist Matthew Wright, for the use of some of his sketches and thanks to former pupils of Matthew Arnold School; Jessica Harris & Kim Underwood for the line drawings, and David Williams & Paul Mitschke for drawing the outline map. This pamphlet is provided by Laleham Residents Association and was most recently updated in June 2016.
