Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: Greys Court, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility.
In this episode I visit GREYS COURT, a Tudor house and garden near Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire.
It was a visit of mixed success, and despite a map I failed to find the garden and had to accept a wheel-chair for the house due to a ban on scooters following a crash into a valuable table by a poor driver.
It was a lovely day, despite the scooter breaking down while going up a grassy slope.

Greys Court

From Wikipedia: Greys Court is a Tudor country house and associated gardens, located at grid reference SU725834, at the southern end of the Chiltern Hills at Rotherfield Greys, near Henley-on-Thames in the English county of Oxfordshire. It is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. The name derives from an old connection to the Grey family, descendants of the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye. The estate or manor of Rotherfield Greys upon which Greys Court is situated is specifically mentioned in the Domesday Book.
The mainly Tudor-style house has a courtyard and gardens. The walled gardens contain old-fashioned roses and wisteria, an ornamental vegetable garden, maze (laid to grass with brick paths, dedicated by Archbishop Robert Runcie on 12 October 1981) and ice house. Within the gardens is a medieval fortified tower of 1347, the only remains of the previous castle, overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. Also within the gardens is a Tudor wheelhouse, where a donkey operated a treadmill to haul water from a well.
The house is furnished as a family home, with some outstanding 18th-century plasterwork interiors. In 1937 the house was bought by Sir Felix Brunner and his wife Lady Elizabeth Brunner, the granddaughter of the Victorian actor-manager Henry Irving. In 1969 they donated the property to the National Trust, with the family continuing to live in the house until the death of Lady Brunner in 2003.
