Whitchurch- on-Thames

Hi folks,

after Goring we set off again along the river to Whitchurch and parked up Winnie at the Dolphin Canoe Centre next to the river.


After walking through the gate we came across the Thames and the Canoe launching strip.


Across the bridge we found St Mary's Church and ventured inside.


This is a medieval Church of Anglo-Saxon origin with wonderful stained glass windows in a very dimly lit church.




Back outside in the sunshine we walked to the river and looked back on the church spire in the distance.


Even though it was the last week in April Daffodils were still popping up in abundance.


Back to the bridge we investigated the toll which to this day help to maintain this bridge over the Thames.


Thanks for looking.

Best regards, Mike
