History

The Barley Wood estate was owned by the social reformer and authoress, Hannah More (1745-1833) from 1784 onwards until she moved to Bristol in 1828, the house being built for her in 1801 on a new site within farmland and pasture. While it was her home, shared with her four sisters, all also unmarried, the property became well known and the More’s received frequent visits from many eminent persons.

A fabulous venue for retreats, weddings and celebrations – and best of all surplus funds from the hire of the venue supports the valuable work the YMCA does with vulnerable young people.
