Leigh Court Barn, Medieval tithe barn in Leigh, Worcestershire, England
The wooden structure extends over 43 meters in length, featuring nine pairs of massive oak beams that support its cruck-framed construction.
Constructed around 1325, Leigh Court Barn served as a storage facility for agricultural produce collected by Pershore Abbey during the medieval period.
The Grade I listed barn represents medieval agricultural practices through its architectural design, which demonstrates the carpentry methods of fourteenth-century England.
The barn welcomes visitors from Thursday to Sunday, with opening hours from 10:00 to 18:00 between April and October, and 10:00 to 16:00 from November to March.
The structure stands as Britain's largest cruck-framed barn, with each of its eighteen cruck blades crafted from individual oak trees.
