Welcome to Historical Barrow upon Trent

Welcome to our village heritage portal—your entryway to the rich, layered history of Barrow upon Trent. Whether you are exploring our ancient landscape, researching local roots, or diving into centuries of parish history, our village is home to three dedicated groups working together to uncover and preserve our shared past.

Please explore the sections below to discover our work:

  • Barrow Archaeology Group (BAG): Uncovering the physical past through active community excavations, geophysical surveys, and post-excavation analysis.

  • Barrow History Research Group: Documenting the records, historic maps, family histories, and stories that define our village heritage.

  • St. Wilfrid’s Church: Exploring the architectural, spiritual, and community history of our landmark village parish church.
