ABSTRACT

Henley, as it is referred to more succinctly, has the distinction of being the oldest management College in Europe, and is situated at the point where the Chiltern Hills tumble down towards the Thames. The College is the former home of Lord Hambleden and is a mile or so from the village that bears his name – a village that looks like a stage set for a period play but which is perhaps better known to Henley members for the relaxing atmosphere of its village pub.
