Description
Kings Sutton Lock on the Oxford Canal is a canal lock dating from the late 18th century, with repairs likely made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features brick walls topped with 20th-century concrete copings and wooden beams for both gates. This lock is part of a close group that includes the lock-keeper's cottage, a bridge, and a canal building, which enhances its historical significance.
