**Goring-on-Thames** (or **Goring**) is a village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parishes_in_England) on the [River Thames](/source/River_Thames) in [South Oxfordshire](/source/South_Oxfordshire), England. Situated on the county border with [West Berkshire](/source/West_Berkshire), it is 6 mi (10 km) south of [Wallingford](/source/Wallingford%2C_Oxfordshire) and 8 mi (13 km) north-west of [Reading](/source/Reading%2C_Berkshire). It had a population of 3,187 in the [2011 census](/source/United_Kingdom_Census_2011) and was estimated to have increased to 3,335 by 2019.[2]

Most land is farmland, with woodland on the [Goring Gap](/source/Goring_Gap) outcrop of the [Chiltern Hills](/source/Chiltern_Hills). Its riverside plain encloses the residential area, including a high street with shops, pubs and restaurants. [Goring & Streatley railway station](/source/Goring_%26_Streatley_railway_station) lies on the [Great Western Main Line](/source/Great_Western_Main_Line), providing trains between London, [Reading](/source/Reading_railway_station), and [Didcot](/source/Didcot_railway_station).

The village church is dedicated to St [Thomas Becket](/source/Thomas_Becket) with a nave that was built within 50 years of the saint's death, in the early 13th century, along with a later bell tower. Goring faces the smaller [Streatley](/source/Streatley%2C_Berkshire) across the Thames; the two are linked by [Goring and Streatley Bridge](/source/Goring_and_Streatley_Bridge).

## Geography

Goring (right), at the end of the nineteenth century

Goring is on the left bank of the [River Thames](/source/River_Thames) in the [Goring Gap](/source/Goring_Gap) between the [Berkshire Downs](/source/Berkshire_Downs) and [Chiltern Hills](/source/Chiltern_Hills), about 8 mi (13 km) north-west of [Reading](/source/Reading%2C_Berkshire) and 16 mi (26 km) south of [Oxford](/source/Oxford). Across the river is the [Berkshire](/source/Berkshire) village of [Streatley](/source/Streatley%2C_Berkshire), often seen as a twin village. They are linked by [Goring and Streatley Bridge](/source/Goring_and_Streatley_Bridge) and its adjacent [lock and weir](/source/Goring_Lock). The [Thames Path](/source/Thames_Path), [Icknield Way](/source/Icknield_Way) and the [Ridgeway](/source/Ridgeway_National_Trail) cross the Thames at Goring.

## Transport

The [Great Western Main Line](/source/Great_Western_Main_Line) serves [Goring & Streatley railway station](/source/Goring_%26_Streatley_railway_station); [Great Western Railway](/source/Great_Western_Railway_(train_operating_company)) operates trains between [London Paddington](/source/Paddington_railway_station), [Reading](/source/Reading_railway_station), and [Didcot](/source/Didcot_Parkway_railway_station). The service runs every 30 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, and every hour on Sundays.[3]

GWR provide the service with [British Rail Class 387](/source/British_Rail_Class_387) electric trains, and because work on electrification from Didcot to [Oxford](/source/Oxford_railway_station) has been suspended since 2019, the trains no longer run beyond Didcot Parkway. A separate diesel service runs between Didcot and Oxford.[4]

The local bus service between Goring and Wallingford is run by a Goring-based [community interest company](/source/Community_interest_company), *Going Forward Buses*, which was established in December 2016.[5] The bus service to Wallingford runs hourly during the working day from Monday to Friday.[6]

## Early history

The name Goring first appears in the [Domesday Book](/source/Domesday_Book) of 1086 as *Garinges*, then as *Garingies* in a charter once held in the [British Museum](/source/British_Museum). It translates as "Gara's people".[7]

The Anglican Churches of Goring, Streatley and South Stoke form a united [benefice](/source/Benefice).[12] A [priory](/source/Priory) of [Augustinian](/source/Augustinians) nuns was built late in the 12th century with its own priory church adjoining St Thomas's.[8] This survived until demolished with the early 16th-century [Dissolution of the Monasteries](/source/Dissolution_of_the_Monasteries).[13] The foundations of the priory church, [cloister](/source/Cloister), dormitory, [vestry](/source/Vestry), [chapter house](/source/Chapter_house) and parlour were excavated in 1892.[11]

Goring Free Church belongs to the [Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion](/source/Countess_of_Huntingdon's_Connexion). The congregation was founded in 1788 and its first [chapel](/source/Chapel) built in 1793.[14] At its centenary in 1893, a new church building was added[11] and the original chapel converted into a church hall.[14] It holds two Sunday services.[15]

The [Catholic Church](/source/Catholic_Church) of [Our Lady](/source/Mary_(Mother_of_Jesus)) and St [John the Apostle](/source/John_the_Apostle) was designed by the architect William Ravenscroft and built in 1898.[11] It now forms a single parish with the Roman Catholic Church of Christ the King in [Woodcote](/source/Woodcote#Churches).[16]
