Barkway Local History Group

A friendly organisation devoted to the diverse topic of local history

Barkway is a village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, England. The village was once a major stopping point on the coaching route from London to Cambridge and the North East of England.

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.

    READING ROOM AND BARKWAY MUSEUM OPEN

    Open from 2 to 4pm on the last Sunday of every month

    After many months of preparation by committee members and friends, including chimney sweeping and repairs, installation of a new broom cupboard, fitting display board hanging strips, restoring the Excelsior cabinet, clearing ivy and gutters, reviewing and organising stored items, and addressing security and environmental considerations, we were delighted to open the doors to the newly refurbished Reading Room and Barkway Museum on Sunday 29th March 2026.
