Remenham history

---

Manor

The manor mostly had main landowners, some of whom not only held the estate but also lived in it as one of their main residences, including a medieval Earl of Warwick and Duke of Buckingham. By the time of Simon de Montford’s fall from grace in 1496, it was Simon De Montford who possessed it. It remained with the Lords Sandys until 1612–13 when it was conveyed to Sir William Lovelace.

Strowdes/Vyne Place/Park Place

Lord Archibald Hamilton, son of William 3rd Duke of Hamilton, built the house standing. Frederick, Prince of Wales, father of George III, occupied it during his estrangement from his father King George II. In 1752 it was purchased by General (afterwards Field-Marshal) the Hon. Henry Seymour Conway, who started the cultivation of lavender in Remenham.

Rectory

Before 1709 the gift of the living had been purchased by Jesus College, Oxford, with whom it has since remained. It provided a vicar and left the legal possibility of chancel repair liability.

Other history

In 1923 at Aston there was a ferry over the river Thames, supplementing Henley Bridge built in the 13th century at the upstream end of the parish. At that time notable residents comprised: Wilson Noble of Park Place, a handsome stone mansion in a free style of French renaissance built by Mr. John Noble, who bought the estate in 1870 on a well-wooded previously occupied site with fine views on the high ground above the river.
