It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

Good looking bridge over the Thames

Hambledon Lock is a historic lock situated on the River Thames that features a long weir. The lock has seen various renovations, and even featured in Charles Dickens' short ghost story.

It was a beautiful cycle ride mainly through woods. Only two hills. Henley was a good place to stop

An impressive and very old cemetery

Though there was a church in Marlow as early as 1070, the present Church of All Saints is a Victorian creation, built after the spire of the old church collapsed in 1831. The old building was demolished, and a new church constructed of Bath stone, topped by a graceful spire soaring 170 above the town. The combination of spire and bridge form one of the most unforgettable Thames sights.

Beautiful Oxfordshire town on the banks of the Thames and famous for rowing. Worth a stop and wander around to break a long ride with plenty of options for coffee and refuelling!

Firstly recorded in 1179, when King Henry II "had bought land for the making of buildings", the town and manor of Henley were granted to Robert Harcourt in 1199 by King John. A church at Henley is first mentioned in 1204 and in 1234 the bridge is first mentioned. The existing Thursday market, it is believed, was granted by a charter of King John. A market was certainly in existence by 1269. The town's period of prosperity in the 17th and 18th centuries was due to manufactures of glass and malt, and trade in corn and wool. Henley-on-Thames supplied London with timber and grain. Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henley-on-Thames
