Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Windsor Castle, Castle Hill, Windsor SL4 1PD England
Your tour will start just a stone’s throw away from Windsor Castle and we will explore the river Thames going upstream up to Dorney Lake.
Stop At: Boveney Church, Boveney lock, Dorney England
St Mary’s, Boveney, nestling on the banks of the Thames, almost within sight of Eton College but a world away in a small remote hamlet, was saved by the Friends in June 1983.
The building is listed Grade I despite its low-key exterior. What tips it into that highest of all listing categories is the remarkable vernacular interior with 18th and 19th Century fittings, its romantic location adjacent to the Thames and its very early origins in the 12th century.
The church was built to serve the bargemen, or bargees as they were called, who plied their trade on the river, although the quay immediately adjacent is long lost. Outside you will notice the little slivers of flint pressed into the mortar coursing lines – this is a partly decorative, partly functional technique known as galletting.
