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
9th-11th September 2001
An archaeological dig took place on the Mount (Beaudesert Castle) from the 9th to 11th September 2001. Channel 4's 'Time Team' was supported by Warwickshire Archaeology and had permission from Historic England since the site is a scheduled ancient monument. Over the course of the three day dig. wall foundations and structures were found underground along with many finds and it gave new insights into the life of the castle.
