ABOUT

Better Barrow was formed in January 2012, following a public meeting in the Village Hall the previous December. The purpose of the group is, with community involvement: –​

​

•    to improve the appearance and amenities of the Market Place and

•    the wider village environment;

•    to raise awareness of our heritage and

•    celebrate the life and achievements of John Harrison.
   

John Harrison, who lived in the village for many years, solved the ‘longitude problem’ through building the world’s first, reliable and accurate marine chronometer.  His work is not only of local and regional importance – his inventions have national and international significance and are recognised as such in museums and publications around the world.

The Better Barrow Community Project is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation), charity number 1159794.
