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
15th October 1937
Tudor Dairies Ltd won the Facchino Silver Challenge Cup in October 1937. Brothers Harry & Arthur Fathers bought Tudor Dairies in 1932 and they experimented in making Ice cream in 1934. In 1937 the Ice cream won the Facchino Silver Challenge Cup for the best Ice cream in the country. Soon after the number of visitors at weekends were so great a policeman was employed to control the crowds.
