Rotherfield Greys is a village and civil parish in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire. It is 2 miles west of Henley-on-Thames and just over 1 mile east of the village of Rotherfield Peppard. The Domesday Book of 1086 mentions Rotherfield Greys under the ownership of the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye. Rotherfield derives from the Old English redrefeld meaning "cattle lands". The Church of England parish church of Saint Nicolas is Norman and was restored in 1865. The church includes the 16th-century Knollys Chapel, which houses an ornate tomb of the Knollys family. This includes effigies of Sir Francis Knollys and his wife, who was Lady in Waiting to Queen Elizabeth I. Nearby is Greys Court, whose predecessor was the manor house of the Grey family. It is owned by the National Trust. The village has a public house, The Maltsters Arms, which is controlled by W.H. Brakspear & Sons.
