Location
Lower Basildon is a small Thames-side village which is spread out along the main road, the A329, and the church, St. Bartholomew's, is
At the end of a narrow lane beside Church Farm is St. Bartholomew's Church. Although mainly 15th century the nave and inner south doorway are early 13th century, and the tower dates from the 18th century. St. Bartholomew's is known as the place of the baptism and burial of Jethrow Tull who invented the seed drill and wrote a pioneering work on farming methods. The church is now in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust.
Opposite the church is the Racing and River Boat Museum housed in a converted timber framed tythe barn which probably dates from the 17th century.
The main railway line from London to the West Country and Wales crosses the River Thames at Lower Basildon and during its construction a luxurious Roman villa was discovered but has now been completely lost under the railway
Between the two villages is Basildon Park, the National Trust property which was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style. The entrance to Basildon Park is in Lower Basildon. Apparently the well-known stationery, Basildon Bond, took its name from Basildon Park when directors of the manufacturers stayed there as guests in 1911.
Nearby is a wildlife park and garden know as Beale Park.
There is access to London via the trains from Goring and Pangbourne stations which are both under 10 minutes from Mapleton farm.
