The Centre
Located in the main High Street of this historic market town, the Heritage Centre is a museum of the town’s history from the Norman Conquest to the present day.
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.
This Week in History
8th - 14th November
On the evening of the second Wednesday in November, the Steward will summon members of the Court, the Court's Jurors, burgesses and members of the public to attend the Court Leet's Annual Meeting in the Guild Hall. Reports from the various officers of the Court and the annual elections for the Court officers will be held. In Medieval times the Court Leet dealt with the transfer of land, the customs of the manor, petty nuisances, crimes & trading offences. Today the Court is mainly ceremonial; maintaining the traditions & history of the town.
