Remenham
The house, which he had much improved, became the rendezvous of many distinguished people, among whom were Horace Walpole, David Hume, the poet Thomas Gray, and sculptor Anne Seymour Damer, who carved the keystones of Henley Bridge.On a hill beyond the pleasure grounds was a Druidic temple presented to Conway by the inhabitants of Jersey (where it was found near St. Helier in 1785), when he was governor of that island.[2] Before 1709 the gift of the living had been purchased by Jesus College, Oxford, with whom it has since remained, providing a vicar and leaving the legal possibility of chancel repair liability.[3] A field on the Park Place estate has a large obelisk which was originally the spire of St Bride's Church in the City of London.Aston is a hamlet set back by one short access lane from the Thames further to the east of Henley than Remenham village centre, both offset to the north.No properties front the river here which is left as natural flood plain grazing land and the hamlet has only one listed building, Aston Farmhouse, at Grade II.[9] The others in the lowest category (Grade II) are related but now separate, the Former Kitchen Garden Walls,[10] the stables and coachhouse[11] and the Bothy ('at Culham Court').
