The church in Shiplake was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

This is one gorgeous forest just off White Hill (the road); in the spring completely conquered by bluebells! A lovely and easy footpath connects White Hill with Remenham Church Lane - enjoy it while it lasts!

Although the building you see dates back to 1860, it is not the original one, as a medieval guildhall stood on this site from 1612. This guildhall was demolished to construct the current building due to the significant industrial growth that Wokingham experienced in the mid-19th century. It currently houses the Wokingham Town Council and is designated as a Grade II listed building. You can find a Wokingham Society Historic Blue Plaque here.

Also known as Gorrick Wood, this area has several comfortable paths for hiking while enjoying the surrounding nature and its diverse woodland, although coniferous trees are predominant. In some areas, depending on the weather, it can become a bit muddy.

This is the only Grade I Listed Building in Wokingham. Founded in 1663, it was in operation until 2001 when it was put up for sale and subsequently sold to a private buyer. You can find a Wokingham Society Historic Blue Plaque here.

At this point, you'll have some excellent views of the River Thames. You are on the Sonning Bridge, connecting Sonning with Sonning Eye. Right at this spot is the border between the counties of Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

This building was founded by Henry Lucas, who expressed his wish for it to function as an almshouse in his 1663 will. In early 1667, this charitable organization began its operation, lasting until 2001 when it was sold as a private residence. The Lucas Hospital is Wokingham's only Grade 1 listed building. This structure is also included in the Wokingham Society's Blue Plaque Trail.
