St. Mary's Church

Fodor's Review:

The 16th-century "checkerboard" tower of St. Mary's Church overlooks Henley's bridge on Hart Street. If the church's rector is about, ask permission to climb to the top to take in the superb views up and down the river. The adjacent Chantry House, built in 1420, is one of England's few remaining merchant houses from the period. It is an unspoiled example of the rare timber-frame design, with upper floors jutting out.
