Boxmoor's Hidden Gem
Heath Barn is a beautiful Grade II listed building sitting in the heart of Boxmoor. Built around a central courtyard, it has served this community for over 500 years. It's been a working farm, a music school, and a gathering place for generations of local families.
Hertfordshire County Council has given us an exclusive window to raise funds and demonstrate that Boxmoor wants this building kept for the community.
We have until the June 5th 2026. After that it could be converted to private housing and lost to this community forever.
