The Story of Our Barn: Medieval to Modern
Winterbourne Medieval Barn
How and when was Winterbourne Medieval Barn built? Why is it so important? Who was Thomas De Bradeston?
Come and find out all about the history of Winterbourne Barn and neighbouring St Michael's church in our new presentation for 2024. Discover what was happening in England during the turbulent 1300s when the Barn was being built. And hear the fascinating story of how this historic site was almost lost, how and why it was saved, and how it is used today.
The morning includes an illustrated talk on the history of Winterbourne Medieval Barn, with a guide pointing out interesting features for you to look at, and then a visit to St Michael's church with its medieval wall paintings and sculptures. There is plenty of time to ask our tour guides questions and explore the Barn at your own pace.
