It lies on the A31 road. Henbury House is a classical Georgian house built in 1770.[1] In the 19th century the estate was held by the Parke family. In the 1870s two members of the family emigrated to Australia and founded Henbury Station, a cattle station some 140 km south of Alice Springs, near where the Henbury Crater was discovered in 1899. Henbury House (re-named Henbury Hall) was the subject of a failed holiday time-share scheme in the 1980s which was designed to cover the cost of its refurbishment. In 1982 the then owners Charles and Susan Maitland offered bonds for sale at £500 each, guaranteeing investors a week's family holiday a year in the house for five years.[2] This was followed by a second Bond issue in 1983 at £1500. However, the venture failed during 1984 and in 1985 the property was sold to Roy and Guy Baylis. The Maitlands filed for bankruptcy which was completed in 1988 with a dividend of 24 pence in the pound for creditors.[3] A private housing development called Henbury House Gardens was then built on the land surrounding the house.[4] References1. ^East Dorset County Council: Areas of Great Landscape Vale (June 1997) {{Dorset-geo-stub}}2. ^https://imsvintagephotos.com/henburyhalldorset1511218 3. ^London Gazette, 7 January 1988, p 181 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/51191/page/181/data.pdf 4. ^https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03542572/officers 1 : Hamlets in Dorset |
