ABOUT us

We are a friendly organisation devoted to the diverse topic of local history

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 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.

The Barkway Local History Group is pleased to be able to offer a varied programme of talks, committee meetings, guided walks, open day displays and visits to places of historic interest.

ARCHIVES FOR RESEARCH AND LOCAL STUDY

 We hold a collection of documents, pictures and artifacts collected and donated to us over the years. Members are welcome to make an appointment to view the archives for research and local study. Open sessions at the Reading Room will allow you to view our collection of photos, listen to oral history recordings and examine our archive files on various aspects of Barkway history.
Please contact us with your preferred dates and times.

LOCAL HISTORY ENQUIRY

Where possible we are willing to help with research relating to family and local history and are always interested to hear from people who may be able to contribute to the history of Barkway
