GORING PARISH

Introduction

Goring-on-Thames (or Goring) is a village and civil parish on the River Thames in South Oxfordshire, England, about 5+1?2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Wallingford and eight miles (thirteen kilometres) northwest of Reading. It had a population of 3,187 in the 2011 census, put at 3,335 in 2019. Goring & Streatley railway station is on the main Oxford - London line. Most land is farmland, with woodland on the Goring Gap outcrop of the Chiltern Hills. Its riverside plain encloses the residential area, including a high street with shops, pubs and restaurants. Nearby are the village churches - one dedicated to St Thomas Becket has a nave built within 50 years of the saint's death, in the early 13th century, along with a later bell tower. Goring faces the smaller Streatley across the Thames. The two are linked by Goring and Streatley Bridge.
