History

[edit]

The Church is a Grade 1 listed building[2] in the village of Henley.

The building includes features dating from the 13th century such as the south door of the church[2] through to more modern work including a nineteenth century addition of a parish room.

The tower contains a ring of eight bells dating from between 1480 and 1902. In 1972 the frames were renovated and the bells rehung. An additional bell for the clock on the tower was installed in 1976 previously having been held in a church at Ubbeston.[2]
