Marlow Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Monument

This suspension bridge built over the River Thames in 1832.

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.

St Bartholomew's Church, Fingest

Highlight • Religious Site

This 12th century church's tower has quite unusual twin gables; and there is, apparently, only one other church in Britain that has such a design. Only one other church in Britain is thought to share this design. The tower once had two bells in it, but only one remains, dating back to 1830. Worth having a look!
