Fawley Court is a country house, with large mixed-use grounds standing on the west bank of the River Thames at Fawley in the English county of Buckinghamshire. Its former estate once encompassed both adjacent Phyllis Court as well as Henley Park which served as the dower house. It had a very extensive estate including a derr park and a considerable number of other buildings and farms. Following World War II, it was run as Divine Mercy College by the Polish Congregation of Marian Fathers, with its associated library, museum and was one of the cultural centres for the Polish community in the United Kingdom until its closure and sale in 2009. It is listed at Grade I for its architecture.
