Step back in time and enjoy a visit to one of the most important medieval barns in south east England, now opened regularly to the public. The Great Barn at Wanborough is one of the finest examples of ancient timber building and was built in in 1388 for the Cistercian monks of Waverley Abbey, five miles away. It was part of a 'grange' - a farm suppying the abbey's needs.
The Great Barn holds a permanent display of local and historic interest as well as special events and exhibitions throughout the summer. Details available in local press.
The local church dates from c1100 and is the smallest in Surrey. It is a short distance from the Great Barn and is well worth a visit.
