St. John's Lock Weir Exit No 1
St. John's Lock Weir Exit No 1 is on the River Thames (above Oxford) a few kilometres from Preston.
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 tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
You may be able to wind here, but it is not a full-length winding hole, being only suitable for boats up to 54 feet long.

The Cotswold Canals Trust is a registered charity which aims to restore the historic Stroudwater and the Thames & Severn Canal. Much progress has already been made and this information point has a display explaining its work and aims. The Thames & Severn Canal commences at a currently closed lock on the River Thames some distance west of Halfpenny Bridge. In the town of Stroud it meets the Stroudwater, which continues to Saul Junction where it meets the Gloucester Ship Canal.[[5880451]]. by P L Chadwick – 04 September 2016](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/88/04/5880447_45c3a2c0_120x120.jpg)
