HODS 23 - Berwick Barracks

Here’s your chance to find out about the history of the Barracks on this short guided tour led by Sophie Howard, Site Manager.

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, Sophie Howard will talk about the site and how it has been used over the years.
