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 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.


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.
