Welcome to Sacred Heart Parish, Henley
Henley-on-Thames (population around 15,000 and
home of the Royal Regatta) is situated on the
north bank of the River Thames in the extreme
southern portion
of Oxfordshire. Parts of both Berkshire
(Portsmouth Diocese)
and Buckinghamshire (Northampton Diocese) touch
on the town's boundaries. Henley is
approximately 35 miles from London (with
Birmingham
approximately three times as far). The town
figures as a dormitory suburb
and weekend retreat area as well as an inland
resort, before considering
more local aspects of community life in the
area.
