Tithe Barn, Lenham, Grade I listed medieval tithe barn in Lenham, England
The Tithe Barn stretches 160 feet in length, featuring nine bays with internal aisles on both sides and traditional timber framing supported by stone plinths.
Built in the late 14th century, this agricultural structure belonged to St Augustine's Canterbury and originally had a twin barn that burned down in 1962.
The barn represents medieval agricultural practices, showing how communities stored and managed grain collected as church taxes during the Middle Ages.
The structure now functions as a venue for local art exhibitions and community events, with specific opening hours for public visits along the Pilgrims Way.
Two additional bays were constructed between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, making it the largest barn of its type in Kent.
