Here we have a view of the church steeple from the opposite end of the village. The church has a Tudor pulpit. The house on the right was once an inn called the Perserverance. The mark of the inn sign can be seen on the wall above the arched doorways.

Back in the 1950s, before they built the reservoir, it was a track, Coppermill Lane, off Coppermill Road, Wraysbury, but it is now, sadly, under water in Wraysbury Reservoir.
