Grave of John Tims
The grave of John Tims in St Mary's Churchyard at Staines. Tims' boats started in the late 1870s when John Tims set up a boat building business in Church Street. In 1928 the firm of John Tims & Son moved to the south bank of the River Thames, just downstream from the railway bridge. Here they continued to build a variety of boats, hire out smaller craft and later hired out launches and cruisers by the week, thus allowing people to journey up the river as far as Lechlade and downstream to London.
In 2012 we saw the new royal barge, the Gloriana, built as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II for her Diamond Jubilee. Tims, for years, held
the honour of being entrusted to repair and renovate older royal barges, including The King’s State Barge which was a huge boat made of English oak and built in 1689 as a gift from William III to Mary II.
