Stanwell Moor

Although still labelled Dunton’s, the ferry and boat-building business now belongs to the Davy family. Sailing dinghies were becoming popular, and sailing clubs were established on both sides of the river. The number of small cruisers moored on the opposite bank indicates the increasing use of motor boats for pleasure from this time onwards.

This shows both sides of the river. The punt crossed the Thames to a slipway to the right of Dunton’s boathouse, and the fare was 1d. Thence it was a short walk to Shepperton Lock, where one could watch the progress of craft up and down the Thames to Chertsey or Walton. The beach in the foreground seems to be a result of inadequate dredging. It provided extra space for spectators when regattas took place.

The Eyot (meaning island) is called after Richard D’Oyly Carte; he strengthened the banks of a small island in the River Thames below Shepperton Lock, and built this large house upon it in 1889. It was intended that the building would act as an annexe to the Savoy Hotel in London, which D’Oyly Carte owned; but no licence was granted, so the house came to be used as a private residence.

These pillars are situated about halfway between the Thames and the town. They were originally part of the Portmore Park estate, which belonged to the Duke of Norfolk in the 17th century. By the 19th century the mansion was in ruins, and the estate was bought by Peter Locke King in 1861. The pillars were acquired by a Mr Ward, who bought Clinton House and land opposite in 1882. When the roads on the Portmore estate were adopted by Weybridge UDC in the 1890s, following extensive house building, Mr Ward presented the pillars to the council on condition that they were preserved as we see them in the photograph.

This view of the parish church is from the north-west. The build- ing on the right is the Midland Bank; between it and the church- yard is a narrow passage, now called Church Lane, leading to the south door of the church. The churchyard was full by the 1870s, so additional cemetery space was bought and chapels erected in Brooklands Lane in 1876. There are several interesting monuments in the churchyard; some of them remain from the earlier church, when they would have been inside the building. Among these is the vault, surrounded by railings, containing the remains of the Duchess of York, buried in 1820.
