More about this scene

The town was once under the control of the powerful de Montfort family. At Evesham on 4 August 1265, Simon de Montfort led the barons against the forces of Henry III. The barons were destroyed, and both Simon de Montfort and his son were among the dead. Shortly afterwards Henley was sacked and burnt. The church of St John the Baptist, the Guildhall and parts of the Blue Bell Inn date from the 15th century.

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 ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
