The old abbey just outside the village was founded in 1411 as a Benedictine hospital, but at the Dissolution it came
into the hands of the Courtenay family who made it into a residence.
The tower, which is considered by many to be a keep, was possibly built as a residence for Sir Otto de Grandison (1238-1328), the first justiciar of North Wales.
This house
with its early 18th-century front was bought by the then rector, James
King, and given 'in perpetuity' as a residence for the rectors of Henley.
