[edit] Rowing

The civil parish covers the starting point of the Henley Royal Regatta course. Remenham Club is a private members club for rowers, with a good view of the river halfway along the Henley course. The Leander Club, founded in 1818, is one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world.

[edit] Buildings and monuments

The parish church is Norman in origin, but has been rebuilt subsequently. The tower has chequer-work turrets and in the chancel there are some Sienese wrought iron gates.

A field on the Park Place estate has a large obelisk which was originally the spire of St Bride's Church in the City of London.
