The Museum & Heritage Centre at Henley-in-Arden, near Stratford-upon-Avon, England is a unique facility made possible by the generosity of a former Lord of the Manor of Henley-in-Arden, Joseph Alexander Hardy of Pennsylvania and inaugurated by his daughter, Robin Hardy Freed, in November 1996.
Please take a look round our site. We look forward to welcoming you on a visit to the Centre very soon.
Henrietta, Lady Luxborough died 27th March 1756. She was born 15th July 1699, the daughter of Henry, Viscount St John. An unsuccessful marriage to Robert Knight, later Lord Luxborough, saw her banished to Barrells Hall in Ullenhall. She became a literary hostess to a group of local writers known as "The Coterie" including William Shenstone, William Somerville, Richard Jago and Richard Graves.

The centre relies on our volunteers to stay open. We are holding coffee mornings for our volunteers and for anyone interested at the Heritage Centre on: 12th, 13th & 14th March at 10.30am.
New for 2024: A short video about the Centre and the history of Henley will be available for visitors to see. It will also help visitors who are unable to access the rooms upstairs.
