| | River Thames - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Its source is about a mile north of the village of Kemble, near Cirencester in the Cotswolds; it then flows through Oxford (where it is called the Isis, a truncation of Tamesis, its Latin name), Wallingford, Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Marlow, Maidenhead, Eton and Windsor and London. |
 | | The Thames rises in Gloucestershire, traditionally forming the county boundary, firstly between Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, between Berkshire on the south bank and Oxfordshire on the north, between Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, between Berkshire and Surrey, between Surrey and Middlesex, and between Essex and Kent. |
 | | Richard Coates has recently suggested that the river was called the Thames upriver where it was narrower, and Plowonida down river where it was too wide to ford. |
