Great House Barn, Grade II listed barn in Rivington, England.
Great House Barn features oak cruck framing construction, sandstone block walls, and traditional stone slate roofing that exemplifies 16th-century agricultural architecture.
Built in the 16th century as a tithe barn, the structure received substantial modifications in 1702 under Thomas Anderton's ownership and later during Lord Leverhulme's time.
The barn maintains its position as a community gathering point, operating as both a tea room and an information center about the Leverhulme estate.
Located at coordinates 53°37′12″N 2°33′43″W, the establishment serves homemade cakes, light lunches, and refreshments seven days per week throughout the year.
The west gable contains inscriptions from 1702 with initials A TAR, representing Thomas, Alice, and Robert Anderton, marking the building's historical ownership.
