About Us:

Tooley's Boatyard is a unique piece of canal history - in continuous working for over 200 years! Both it and the old Forge are Historic Monuments, and the yard holds many things to inform, excite, and amaze. 

We need your help so we can make this 'hidden gem' in the heart of Banbury into a fascinating heritage centre for young and old alike, easily accessible, with good provision for school groups, tourists and citizens of Banburyshire.

We are looking to raise £30,000 in the short term to fund the necessary architectural study.

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

John Madden (Chair of Tooley's Boatyard Trust)
