Henley

Stonor Park

STONOR is 15 minutes drive from Henley and is one of the few houses in England that has remained in the same family from the earliest records to the present day. It has been home to Lord and Lady Camoys and the Stonor family for over 800 years. Unpretentious yet grand, a façade of warm brick with Georgian windows conceals a much older building dating back to the 12th Century while a 14th Century Catholic Chapel sits on the south east corner. Stonor nestles in a fold of the beautiful Chiltern Hills and has breathtaking views of the surrounding park where Fallow deer have grazed since medieval times.

The house is of considerable architectural interest and contains many fine family portraits, bronzes, drawings and furniture together with an exhibition of the life and work of St Edmund Campion who sought sanctuary here in 1581. After your tour enjoy afternoon tea in the 12th century Hall.
