Berwick Barracks - Its History and Future

Heritage Open Day: Here's your chance to find out about the history of the Barracks and plans for the Living Barracks Project on this short guided tour led by Joe Lang from the Berwick Barracks Heritage Trust Berwick's Barracks is one of the first purpose built structures of this kind to be built in England. Designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, they were opened in 1721, much to the delight of the local townspeople who had to accommodate the soldiers prior to this. In this short tour, Joe will talk about the history of the site and the exciting plans for it which will come to fruition over the next couple of years.
