Talk: The Story of Our Barn - Medieval to Modern
Winterbourne Medieval Barn
Join our Community Events Coordinator, Ceara, to find out about the turbulent 1400s and what was happening in England, and to the people here, when the Barn was being built in 1342.
Hear the fascinating story of how this historic site was almost lost, how and why it was saved, and how it is used today.
Who was Thomas De Bradeston, and why did he build Winterbourne Medieval Barn?
How was it built? Why was it so important then and now?
What are the links between the Barn and St. Michael's Church?
Come and find out the answers to these questions and more at this talk about the history of this amazing heritage site: from medieval to modern! The evening includes a talk on the history of the Barn, with particularly interesting features being pointed out, and plenty of time to ask questions of our friendly volunteers.
About your speaker: Ceara has been a member of the team here at The Barn for 3 years. As a local resident she has grown up loving this beautiful site and had attended many events here before she was in charge of planning them!
Since joining as the Community Events Coordinator, Ceara has become even more interested in the history of our unique heritage site and, after answering many questions about The Barn from the public, has compiled this presentation, with input from many of our longest standing volunteers, to help share its story.
