Thames Valley Methodist Circuit
The Circuit and The River 2015
The name, Thames Valley Circuit, is very appropriate. The Thames flows through the circuit from North-West to South-East. As the crow flies, over half its churches are within one mile of the Thames, and the one furthest away around 2½ miles. This gallery depicts the points on the river nearest each church, and a few other sights.
