Henley on Thames <\/strong>and Greys Court (NT)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday 23rd<\/sup> April <\/strong><\/p>\n

Henley-on-Thames<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0a world-renowned historic market town in Oxfordshire, England, famously known as the global home of rowing. \u00a0Nestled on one of the most scenic stretches of the River Thames at the edge of the\u00a0Chiltern Hills.\u00a0 After Lunch we travel to the nearby Greys Court (NT), this picturesque 16th-century mansion and tranquil gardens were home to the Brunner family until recent years. \u00a0The house exudes a welcoming atmosphere with a well-stocked kitchen and homely living rooms.\u00a0 Inside the house there's a plain pine staircase, at the top of which is a window containing five panels of 16th and 17th-century-stained glass. They are all originally from Switzerland and would likely have been collected by Sir John Brunner, 1st Baronet, on one of his frequent trips to the country.\u00a0 \u00a0The series of walled gardens is a colourful patchwork of interest set amid medieval ruins. \u00a0Other buildings from earlier eras include the Great Tower from the 14th century and a rare Tudor donkey wheel, in use until the early 20th century. \u00a0The Maze was inspired by the Archbishop of Canterbury's address in 1980, in which he spoke of a \u2018mazelike muddle in which the world finds itself\u2019, and his hope that Christian and non-Christians, working together, could solve it. \u00a0The design, by Adrian Fisher, is packed with Christian symbolism, for example, the seven rings stand for the seven days of creation, the three outward turns for the three days that Christ spent in the tomb. The Octagonal Stone fountain\u00a0designed by Hugo Brunner\u2019s brother-in-law, the architect Francis Pollen. A prayer for good harvest by the Latin poet Horace was carved in slate.<\/p>\n
