In the centre of the town is the old Market Place, where stands the remains of the 15th century Market Cross, one of the few still existing in Warwickshire. The Cross is built of local stone, but only the raised base of three steps and the lower part of the shaft are left.

Originally the cross had a four-sided head with niches, each with a carved relief: the Rood, the Trinity, St. Peter with the key and possibly the Virgin and Child. Proclamations have been made from the Cross for five centuries, including the proclamation of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952.

Joseph Hardy House (left), home of the Heritage Centre, is itself a rare architectural gem. The oldest parts of the house have been dated, using dendrochronological technology, to 1345.

Features of interest include the Crown Post, an unusual roof construction for a Warwickshire house, and displays of "Medieval Henley",  "Home Life in Henley", "Transport and Trade" and a Victorian School Room (right).

The Heritage centre is open from Easter Monday to the end of October and welcomes each year over 4,000 visitors.

Finally, no visit to Henley will be complete without sampling one of the many flavours from Henley Ice Cream, which is next door to the Heritage Centre.

We hope you have enjoyed your virtual visit to our town of Henley-in-Arden and that we shall have the pleasure of welcoming you in person in the future.
