HISTORY

First mentioned in 692, the village was then known as Heanburg. That name is from the Old English hēan byrig which means “high fortified place.” The village is also mentioned in the Domesdaby Book but as Henberie.

Henbury was once a very large parish: it extended to the River Severn and included King's Weston, Lawrence Weston, Charlton, Easter Compton, Pilning, Northwick and Aust. Parts of the parish were separated to form the civil parishes of Redwick and Northwick and Aust in 1866. By 1901, part of the civil parish was made part of Bristol and more were added between then and 1933.

The civil parish of Henbury was abolished in 1935 and the remaining parts were made part of the civil parishes of Pilning and Severn Beach and Almondsbury.
