Rotherfield Greys 1863 Dutton, Allen & Co Directory listing
GREYS, commonly called Rotherfield Greys, is a large parish, extending to
the town of Henley-on-Thames, 7 1/2 miles distant from Reading, and covering
an area of six miles, from the banks of the river Thames to Nettlebed. The
houses are much scattered, and not sufficiently united to form a village.
The Church is a neat ancient building, in excellent repair. There are
several fine monumental brasses, and in the chancel is a magnificent
monument, raised by William, Earl of Banbury, in 1605, to the memory of a
branch of the Knollys family.- Under a canopy supported by pillars of black
marble are the effigies of Sir Francis Knollys and wife, by the side of whom
is an infant. On the two sides are represented, kneeling, seven sons and six
daughters, and a daughter-in-law, the Countess of Banbury; above which are
the Earl of Banbury and Countess, kneeling before a desk. The living is a
rectory, in the presentation of Trinity College, Oxford. The Rev. North
Pinder is the incumbent. There is a district Church, dedicated to the Holy
Trinity, 2 1/2 miles from the pariah church ; the Rev. William P. Pinckney
is the perpetual curate; and another at Highmoor End, dedicated to St. Paul,
of which the Rev. Horace G. Monro is the perpetual curate. There is a
Parochial and an Infant School. The population of the parish in 1861 was
1761.
