LOCATION AND AMENITIES:
Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, Henlow offers all the
advantages of life in a small and charming village and yet, thanks
to the area-s superb transport connections, also ensures that the
bright lights of London are within easy reach.
The name Henlow is believed to derive from the old English -henna
hlaw-, -hill frequented by wild birds‘ and was mentioned in the
Domesday survey of 1086, when the village came under the possession
of 3 separate manors: Henlow Warden, Henlow Llanthony and Henlow De
Grey. This accounts for the abundance of Manor Farms in the
village. There was a moated manor house on the -island‘ of land
which runs about 40 yards to the North of the High Street behind
the War memorial along to the rear of Manor Farm at 87 High Street,
which formed part of the De Grey manorial system. Henlow Grange,
the earliest parts of which date from 1680, was built on land that
formed the heart of the Henlow Llanthony estates. Henlow Grange is
now home to Champneys Health Spa.
The Parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. The church is
in a beautiful setting on a rise above the Pit with the village
pump in the foreground and a horse trough built to commemorate
Queen Victoria‘s Diamond Jubilee. The current church building has a
tower and North aisle constructed of clunch and the remainder is of
ironstone. The North arcade dates to the 13th century, the Eastern
bays are early 14th century and the entire is mainly in the
perpendicular style, although the later Victorian Chapel
incorporates a Norman window from the original aisle-less church.
The church has Registers dating from 1558. Although the tower now
contains a ring of 8 bells, enhanced from 6 in the 1980‘s, prior to
1925 there was a ring of 5 bells, wherein the origin of the name of
the local Public House.
The educational needs of children of all ages are also well catered
for by a number of excellent schools in the vicinity.
Located just minutes away from Junction 10 of the A1(M) and the
national motorway network beyond, Henlow is equally well-served by
a local bus network, whilst London-s Kings Cross station can be
reached from the neighbouring village of Arlesey in a little under
40 minutes.
