On the patronage of this church dedicated to "Saint LAWRENCE": He is one of the early Christian Roman martyrs from a time when Christianity was still strictly forbidden. He was archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and after his execution was ordered by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church to him. Laurentius asked for three days to do this, distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th, the recorded date of his execution in A.D. 258.

Please note. Halfpenny Bridge has been badly damaged by a drunk driver and access is closed for weeks, possibly months.

A gorgeous rural lane which is just about manageable on a road bike... but might be a different story in the winter! There is quite a lot of grit around and a few potholes to avoid.

Excellent espresso, cycle friendly

When you pass St John's Lock, the furthest upstream lock on the River Thames, it is traditional to pay your respects to Old Father Thames. This statue was commissioned in 1854 for the Crystal Palace's grounds, was later moved to Thames Head, and then relocated to St John's Lock.

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.
