The rural idyll that is the village and estate of Mapledurham sit beside the River Thames in South Oxfordshire, close to Reading. The estate has been in the same family since the 15th century and boasts the last operational watermill on the river, powered by Mapledurham weir, and the largest Elizabethan manor house in the county. The lock, first built in 1777, is in fact adjacent to the attractive village of Purley-on-Thames which lies on the opposite bank.
