What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Barrack Yard. Once the coaching yard of The Cross Keys inn, later a barracks for Cromwell's soldiers during the English Civil War; 18 families lived here, where St Peter's Court is now.
Barrack Yard served as a significant military encampment for Cromwell's forces during the English Civil War, transforming into residential quarters for multiple families thereafter.
