Tips from the Community
Saint JOHN BAPTIST, to whom this church is dedicated, is a person on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments (just like the Holy Family with Mary and Joseph). His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth. After the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of Saint John Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Ha'penny Bridge is an old stone bridge with a small toll house that was built in 1792. The halfpenny toll to use the bridge was abolished in 1839 after a local revolt. The bridge and its toll house are a Grade II listed building and mark the start of the navigable Thames.

This Grade I-listed church has Anglo-Saxon origins but most of the current structure was built around 1205. Mostly unchanged since the medieval era, it is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Lovingly restored by William Morris, the 19th century poet and craftsman who lived in nearby Kelmscott, the inside of the church tells the story of over 1,000 years of religious history; from Anglo-Saxon carvings on one wall, to medieval wall paintings on another, to passages from the Bible etched elsewhere from the Reformation.
