Mapledurham "the maple tree enclosure" appears in Doomsday as two manors, Mapledurham Gurney belonging to William de Warenne, while Milo Crispin, Lord of the honour of Wallingford, owned the smaller Mapledurham Chazey. It has a fascinating and rich history over the centuries waiting that vistors can discover. Since 1960 John Joseph Eyston, the present owner has restored the House, and once again it is a family home, where he lives with his wife, Lady Anne, daughter of the late Viscount Maitland, and their three children Edward, Katharine and Mary.

After centuries of turmoil, Mapledurham House now enjoys a more peaceful existence. Full of the treasures of an exciting history, a visit to Mapledurham House makes for a fascinating and pleasant day out.

The beautiful riverside church of St Margaret's contains the 'Bardolf Aisle', the final resting place for the Lords and Ladies of Mapledurham House since 1395

The Old Watermill at Mapledurham is the only mill on the Thames that is still operational. A mill on this site has been producing high quality stone ground flour since the time of the Domesday Survey.

The watermill is perhaps best known for its starring role in the 1976 film, The Eagle Has Landed, where the mill leat is the scene of the dramatic rescue of a local girl by a German paratrooper that results in the unmasking and ultimate failure of the raid.

It is also the backdrop in the image on the cover of Black Sabbath (album), by the band of the same name.
