West Pennard Court Barn, Medieval tithe barn in West Bradley, England

The West Pennard Court Barn measures 50 feet in length and features local Blue Lias stone walls with oolitic ashlar corners and loading porches.

Built in the late 14th or early 15th century, this agricultural structure belonged to Glastonbury Abbey and collected one-tenth of local farm production.

The barn stands as a testament to medieval agricultural methods, featuring ventilation slits and cross pommee openings that showcase period construction techniques.

The National Trust maintains this Grade I listed building, which underwent major restoration in 1936 after its roof collapsed the previous year.

Originally containing a dovecote that later became a calf shed, the structure retains visible niches for birds in its east gable wall.
