The Thames Path - Marlow to Henley

Saturday 26 July, 2008



Stream at Hurley
 

      
Hurley Church was the nave of the Norman Priory  - although it was built on the site of a Saxon church. Other abbey buildings remain, now mainly private houses.
Inside is the 17C memorial to the Lovelaces - father and son - of Ladye Place, built on the ruins of St Mary's Priory and destroyed in 1837. Both were called Richard. The son (at right) sailed with Drake and was made Lord Lovelace of Hurley in 1627. John, the 3rd Lord Lovelace plotted with others in the crypt at Ladye place to bring about the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688.
 
 Old cottages in the High St, Hurley
 
  The Olde Bell was originally built in 1135 as the guesthouse of the Priory, with a bell for new arrivals to ring..
 
  An old cottage back on the Thames Path
 
Approaching Culham Court the path leads away from the river 
     
  
     


And past the landscaped area around the large house there

The Thames path isn't high enough to see the famous views of the river although there are a few glimpses

 

And a fine flower-filled grass meadow
