The entry to Swift Ditch from The #Thames near #Abingdon. This ditch was once the main navigation channel, bypassing the large river meander to create Andersey Island. Created around 1055, possibly by the monks of Abingdon Abbey to improve navigation and water supply.

St Helen's Church, beside The #Thames at Abingdon. The church is far wider than it is long, maintaining the altar on the Eastern side.
