== Parmoor House ==
In the 12th century, Parmoor House was owned by the [[Knights Templar]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}} After falling into ruin it was rebuilt by the new Earl of the hundred in 1352. The property was then lost to the crown around 1790 when the incumbent Earl was supplanted by [[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]] with a John "Frith" whose surname was to be that of the village. Although Frith never took up residence, on his death in 1791, the property was bought by the Cripps Family of Berkshire. It was the birthplace of Sir [[Stafford Cripps]], the post-war [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]]. During [[Second World War|the war]], it was let to [[King Zog of Albania]]. In 1947, the Anglican Community of St Katharine of Alexandria moved to Parmoor House from Fulham to provide care for elderly ladies. Later the house became home for the Community of the Sue Ryder Prayer Fellowship. St Katharine's, Parmoor, Frieth, Henley-on-Thames is now a retreat home and conference centre welcoming all for day or residential visits.
