Description

VICARS OF HENBURY The Manor Henbury in the Saltmarsh came into the possession of the See of Worcester by a succession of gifts of land made to the Bishops by the Mercian Kings. The first was made by King Ethelred between 692-697 to OFTSOR, second bishop of Worcester. It is possible therefore that the Church of Henbury was built by one of the Saxon Bishops of Worcester (who had a house here) for the benefit of his tenants. The first definite mention of a Church occurs in a charter of Bishop Wulfstan, in the year 1093, when it was mentioned among the endowments of the monastic Church at Westbury-on-Trym. Soon after, Wulfstan’s successor, Bishop Sampson replaced the monks of Westbury by a Dean and secular Canons, who were corporately Rectors of Henbury and served its Church as Chaplains, of whom Alwyn (c. 1140) is first named. By 1270 it had acquired a Vicar, the first known name of which is recorded below. The Bishops of Worcester continued to keep the presentation of the Vicarage in their own hands and Vicars were instituted by Episcopal collation until 1542 when Henbury became part of the newly created Diocese of Bristol. Between1544-48 the Manor and Hundred of Henbury, with the advowson of the Church, was granted to Sir Ralph Sadleir (d.1587) by King Henry VIII. His heirs retained the advowson until 1675 when it was sold to Thomas Yate of Grays Inn and Gregory Geering of Denchworth, Berks. In 1680 it was sold to (Sir) Samuel Astry whose heirs continue to hold it.
