Location


Benson, once known as Bensington, is a large Thames-side village in South Oxfordshire, a short distance from Wallingford, with a history dating back to around 10,000 bc. As well as a popular High Street with several shops and two pubs including the 18th-century coaching inn, The Crown Inn, Benson Lock is on the outskirts of the village and there are camping, lodges and eating facilities on Benson Waterfront. The River Thames played an important part in the life of the village, being a major trading route.

The village has a long history including a mention in the Domesday Book as "the richest royal manor in Oxfordshire" and a key site during the Civil War, there are many historic buildings. Parts of The Church of St. Helens date to the 12th century. A building is still known as the Court House from the time that King Charles I held court there during the Civil War. A tour of the village can be found on the local village history site. Benson Veteran Cycle Museum has over 500 cycles from 1818 to 1930 in its large private collection. The Benson Veteran Cycle Club annual rally on the first Sunday in July attracts hundreds of riders on veteran bicycles, followed by cyclists on modern bikes. The event was founded in 1960 by the club’s life president Ned Passey, now aged 95, after he saved a penny farthing being thrown out by his father. The village boasts a popular well attended primary school.
