Pram race
I was 10 years old when I entered the pram race. Myself and two other neighbours entered as a junior team. I was dressed up as a baby and the two other lads were dressed as mom and dad. The race went round Wooton Wawen. It started at the top of the High Street in Henley, down to the traffic lights which we had to turn right, then left up Mayswood Road. At the end of Mayswood Road we turned left on to the Stratford Road back into Henley and up the high street. We had to take it in turns to be in the pram which was difficult to get in and out of when running. The crowds up the ...read more here

MY MOTHER LIVED IN A TIED COTTAGE CALLED MOCKLEY MANOR COTTAGE (WHICH SOUNDED GLAMOROUS BUT WAS'NT) FOR A COUPLE CALLED MR AND MRS CREEDY-SMITH I BELIEVE, ANYWAY I USED TO TRY TO GET OUT AND ABOUT AS MUCH AS I COULD AND GO CYCLING ROUND ULLENHALL.
IT WAS HERE THAT I CAME ACROSS MISS PUGH, A LOVELY LADY WHO LIVED WITH HER BROTHER AT THE BOTTOM ON CHURCH LANE AND SHE WAS FOREVER CYCLING AROUND THE VILLAGE LOOKING WONDERFULLY FIT AND HEALTHY.

Extracts From Henley-In-Arden & Warwickshire books
Henley is a fine example
of a medieval settlement
developing in linear fashion
along a highway, as this
photograph demonstrates
- though it tells only part of
the story, for the High Street
is a mile long. The beautiful
buildings which line the
street span some seven
or eight centuries, and
display a glorious variety
of domestic architectural styles.
An extract from from"Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories".
The church of St John the
Baptist was built c1450,
and so was the timber-
framed Guild House just
visible beyond the church
in this view. The Guild of
Holy Trinity, St John the
Evangelist and St John
the Baptist engaged in
works of charity, but it
was dissolved in 1547. The
building has served many
functions since, with the
lower floor now in use as a
public library.

Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr
Hitchman, donated the site for this
church together with a large sum of
money. St Mary’s was built between
1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in
brick with a prominent steeple. The
interior is brick-lined. The tower
was a mere 75 feet high and has
been cemented over. In 1875 the old
three-decker pulpit was removed and
the font re-located. The horse and
carriage gives a tranquil atmosphere
on a road which now leads to an
industrial estate.

The River Leam and All Saints’ Church
from the suspension bridge. On the left, the
high walls at the rear of the gardens give an
indication of the flood problems associated
with living on a river.
