There was a church in Henley at the time William the Conqueror had
the Domesday Survey prepared, there were also three manors within
the village. The body of the present church dates from the 13th
century, the porch having been added in the 15th century and the
tower in the early 16th century(possibly 1525) when the village was
known as Hendley. The vestry on the north side of the church was
added in 1838 and the outer wall on the south of the churchyard is
dated 1900. In the last 150 years there have been major renovations
in 1846, 1895.1904 & 2005 The church interior had been
decorated in 1969 & 1993 but has just been completely
redecorated in 2008. On the nave walls and ceiling old style lime
wash was used rather than emulsion paint, which was removed in
October 2008. Electric lighting was installed in 1946 and the whole
building completely rewired in 1983. The roof required extensive
repairs in 1959 and the nave was replaced & retiled in
2005.
If any body would like to add to this series, please do, but could
you please let sadexploration know first, so he
can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication.
