Church Tower with Blue Clock, St Marys Church, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England, UK, GB.

In 1204 Aumericus de Harcourt was the first recorded priest. The present structure was almost certainly pre-dated by earlier buildings, but the first recorded reference is a charter of 1272 granting an indulgence “to all contributors to the building or the repairing of the church at Henley”. St. Mary’s is basically a 13th century building, but was enlarged and remodelled in the 15th century and again in the 19th century, so the building history is hard to decipher. The 13th-century church consisted of a sanctuary (chancel), nave, aisles, and probably transepts. Externally there is no remnant of this church, and the Early English style of the west doorway is, in fact, Victorian.
