Inglesham Lock in pictures
Photographs of Inglesham Lock
By Gill Redford
Inglesham lies just south of Lechlade and is the place where the Thames and Severn Canal meets the River Thames.
Inglesham Roundhouse was built in 1790; it was one of five built along the Thames and Severn Canal in the same year. The other four were at Chalford, Coates, Cerney Wick and Marston Meysey. They were built as watchmen's cottages, and were made of rubble stone covered with plaster and stucco.
