St. John's Lock is one of many locks on the River Thames (above Oxford) .
The Act of Parliament for the River Thames (above Oxford) was passed on 17 September 1876 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Parker who owned land in the area. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Lump Hammer Across The Midlands" by Cecil Jones, there is no evidence that Oliver Smith ever painted a mural of Manley Locks on the side of Thomas Yates's house

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring pins are needed.
Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, boater-operated pump-out, rubbish disposal, toilets, water (cans only), glass recycling, paper recycling, tin can recycling, aluminium can recycling and electric hook up.
This is a lock with a rise of 2f10.
