about us

Barkway Local History Group was set up in 2018 by a small number of local residents to investigate, research and preserve the ancient and more recent history of the village for the benefit of residents and the wider community.

Barkway is a village and civil parish in North
Hertfordshire, England. Situated just 4.5 miles
south east of the town of Royston, the village was once a major stopping point on the coaching route from London to Cambridge and the North East of England.

we hope you'll join us

Membership to the group offers a varied programme of activities such as open days, talks from guest speakers, guided walks and occasional trips to places of historical interest.

We hold a collection of documents, photographs and artifacts collected and donated to us over the years. Members are welcome, by arrangement, to view the archives for research and local study.
