Waterend Barn blue plaque

This blue commemorative plaque records: Waterend Barn is the more prominent of the two barns separately relocated to this site in St. Albans. It dates from the 17th century and was moved from its original location, the Waterend Estate in Wheathampstead, in the 1930's. The other barn is older, dating from the 16th century. It was moved from Little Hormead and annexed to the larger barn in the early 1960's. JD Wetherspoon acquired the buildings in June 2004 and, following substantial renovations supervised by architects Lawrence Beckingham Field, they were reopened to the public in February 2005

Waterend Barn, originally from the 17th century Waterend Estate in Wheathampstead, was relocated to St. Albans in the 1930s and later renovated into a public space, preserving local architectural heritage.
