Henbury is a hamlet in the civil parish of Sturminster Marshall in Dorset, England. 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,[2] a cattle station some 140 km south of Alice Springs, near where the Henbury Crater was discovered in 1899.
