Located in Parmoor, near Freith (Henley-On-Thames) this historic house stands in 12 acres of grounds in an area of great scenic beauty and abundant wildlife. The rural tranquillity of the Chilterns, combined with a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, make St. Katharine's an ideal destination for groups and individuals, for both residential or day visits.

The house is run by the Sue Ryder Prayer Fellowship, an independent registered charity whose aim is to provide a facility that is ecumenical and non-denominational. The house is open to people of all faiths or of none.

On entering the house, visitors find themselves in the panelled entrance hall - with its antique furniture, grand piano and stained glass windows. In winter guests are greeted by the sight of a blazing log fire.

Two sitting rooms offer a pleasant ambience for relaxation, and the secluded double roomed library provides further space for quiet time.
