Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Heritage of Harmondsworth
Heritage Open Day: Harmondsworth has existed since at least the 6th century. What you see today are buildings of 15th-20th century date. The star of the many listed buildings is the Grade I Great Barn, built in 1426-7 by Winchester College. Come and explore! Harmondsworth has a long history as an agricultural community, that stretches from medieval times to the late 1970s. The Great Barn and the adjacent parish church of St Mary have stood at the centre of the village for all of that time and seen history unfold around them. The displays in the Barn illustrate the history of its construction and use and include the conservation/repairs carried out in 2014.
At 193ft in length, 39ft wide and 37ft high the Barn is the largest medieval timber-framed barn to survive in this country.
