Henbury is a suburb of
Bristol about 5
miles north west of the city centre. It was formerly a village in
Gloucestershire. Henbury has a major roundabout junction to control all the traffic from the A4018 link from the
M5 motorway. The main streets of Henbury have recently faced a lot of crime. There is also a small
ford that runs through Henbury near the Salutation pub. Henbury churchyard contains the grave of
Scipio Africanus, the west African 18th century manservant of Charles William Howard, seventh
Earl of Suffolk.
Henbury is bordered by Westbury-on-Trym to the south, Brentry to the east and the Blaise Castle estate and Lawrence Weston to the west. To the north lies the south Gloucestershire village of Hallen.
