Whitchurch-on-Thames is a village and civil parish on the Oxfordshire bank of the River Thames, about 5.5 miles (9 km) northwest of Reading, Berkshire, in close proximity to Whitchurch Hill.

In 1858 the Gothic Revival architect Henry Woodyer completely rebuilt the church, retaining only the Norman south door, Perpendicular Gothic south porch and a few other items.

[2] The parish is now a member of the Langtree Team Ministry: a Church of England benefice that also includes the parishes of Checkendon, Ipsden, North Stoke, Stoke Row and Woodcote.

[3] Since the 16th century Whitchurch has had a weir and flash lock on the Thames to manage water levels for navigation.

The current structure, still privately owned, is the fourth on the site, the bridge having been reconstructed in 1853, 1902 and 2014.
