Bar Hill village

Bar Hill is a purpose-built village, with a population currently about 5000, built between c1965 & 1990. Most of the housing lies within a perimeter road called Saxon Way on the west, & Crafts Way on the east.

Bar Hill was built upon land that formerly fell within the parish of Dry Drayton; much of the land made up Bar House Farm owned by Chivers & Sons, the jams & preserves manufacturer, who at one time were major farm owners in the area.
