Battle of Barnet Banners
Barnet Museum volunteers have created over 90 replica banners representing nobles who fought at the Battle of Barnet. After the success of having them up on the High Street lampposts in 2018, they have returned in April 2021 to mark the 550th anniversary of the battle. The effort was led by Wars of the Roses historian and researcher Geoffrey Wheeler supported by Museum volunteers.
We also have a exhibition space in The Spires where some of the banners are displayed along side a wealth of fascinating information about the battle. The exhibition will remain until the end of May 2021.
