Whitchurch Lock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitchurch Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames in England. The lock is located in the Oxfordshire village of Whitchurch-on-Thames but the weir crosses the river to the Berkshire village of Pangbourne. Both lock and weir are owned and managed by the Environment Agency.
Whitchurch Lock is one of the few locks on the River Thames which has no public access other than by boat.
The long serving lock keeper is Brian Butcher who has worked on the river for more than forty years starting as an apprentice engineer for Bert Bushnell's hire fleet based in Maidenhead in the 1960s.
