Tamesis
Encyclopedia : T : TA : TAM : Tamesis
In Celtic mythology, Tamesis was goddess of water, particularly fresh water. The English name for the River Thames comes from her name. Tamesis was later replaced by Llud as the God of the River Thames.
Scultures entitled Tamesis and Isis by Anne Seymour Damer can be found on the bridge at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The original terracotta and plaster models were exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, in 1785. They are now on show at the River and Rowing Museum in Henley.
