Great Coxwell Barn, Medieval tithe barn in Great Coxwell, England
The stone structure stretches 152 feet in length, with rubble walls reinforced by ashlar buttresses and a large slate roof supported by timber posts.
Cistercian monks from Beaulieu Abbey constructed this agricultural building around 1292, following King John's land grant to the monastery in 1205.
William Morris, the influential artist and writer who resided at nearby Kelmscott Manor, declared this barn equal in nobility to a cathedral.
The National Trust maintains this Grade I listed building, which remains open to visitors with an admission fee collected through an honor system.
The barn features an unusual single-door design instead of the traditional two-door configuration common in medieval agricultural buildings of this scale.
