Boveney Lock

Highlight • Structure

This is one of the most popular locks on the River Thames and was first built in 1838. It's much-photographed, partly because it's quite picturesque but also because it lies on a particularly busy part of the Thames. It was rebuilt 60 years after the initial construction, slightly closer to the bank.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Boveney

Highlight • Religious Site

A church has been on the site since before the Norman conquest, but the fabric of the present church dates from the 12th century. Windows and the tower were added in the 15th century. The church was built to serve the bargemen working on the River Thames; there was a quay alongside the church but there are now no remains of this. It was a chapel of ease to St Peter's Church, Burnham. An attempt to make it into a separate parish in 1737 failed because sufficient endowment could not be raised. Probably in the middle of the 19th century, a dado of bricks was added to the exterior in an attempt to keep out damp, and in 1897 the window tracery was replaced.

Summerleaze Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Summerleaze Footbridge is a footbridge across the River Thames in England linking Dorney, Buckinghamshire and Bray, Berkshire, and is located on the reach above Boveney Lock.

The footbridge was built as a gravel conveyor belt, taking gravel from the construction of Dorney Lake, a nearby purpose-built rowing lake, and takes its name "Summerleaze" from the firm who built it in 1996.
