Duxford, Oxfordshire

Shifford Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England. It is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney in Oxfordshire. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898. This was the only new lock built on the non-tidal Thames in the era of falling revenue after the Thames Conservancy took over responsibilities of the Thames Navigation Commission. It replaced a flash lock in a weir about 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) downstream. There is a small weir beside the lock and a larger weir on the old course of the river upstream at the top of the lock cut.

Hinton Waldrist Castle was in Hinton Waldrist about 7.5 miles (12.1 km) north of Wantage (grid reference SU376991). Hinton Waldrist spent most of its history in Berkshire until in 1974 it was transferred to Oxfordshire. The castle was originally a motte and bailey with a moat. The first castle was built of timber by the St. Valery family after the Norman conquest of England. In the Middle Ages the castle was rebuilt in stone when it belonged to the Bohuns, the Earls of Hereford. Mary de Bohun was brought up here and married Henry of Bolingbroke who became King Henry IV. Their son, Henry V, visited the castle often in his younger days. Only earthworks are visible today.

Tenfoot Bridge is a wooden footbridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It is situated on the reach above Shifford Lock and was built in 1869. It connects Buckland on the south bank to Chimney on the north. The name derives from a pre-existing weir which had a 10-foot-wide flash lock (3.0 m) in it. In 1867 there were complaints about the state of the weir bridge and after a dispute, the Thames Conservancy removed the weir and built the bridge two years later.The Thames Path passes the bridge on the north bank, but does not cross it. The path formerly crossed the bridge to Duxford south of the old course of the Thames.
