George Martyn's Barn
31 Main Street, Keyworth, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG12 5AA
George Martyn's Barn has stood on Main Street, Keyworth since 1651.
This year CAAG is exploring the theme of Architecture with an exhibition in the 374 year old Barn. Visitors can step inside and appreciate the original features and the skills and materials used in producing such a structure all those years ago. Also, learn about the Parish Church (grade 1 listed) and the historic buildings in the village centre related to farming and framework knitting. View works by local artists on the 'Architecture' theme.

Additional information
Keyworth Conservation Area Advisory Group (CAAG) took on the tenancy of this building in August 2020. We open George Martyn's Barn in conjunction with other local events at other times during the year: at the same time as, for instance the Open Gardens for the National Garden Scheme in the summer and the Keyworth Village Festivities Day in early December.
