Saxon Tithe Barn, Medieval tithe barn in Bradford-on-Avon, England
The stone structure extends 168 feet in length with a traditional steep-pitched roof supported by massive timber trusses and stone walls.
The barn was constructed in the 1330s when Shaftesbury Abbey gained control of the Bradford-on-Avon rectory, serving as storage for agricultural products.
The barn represents the economic relationship between medieval religious institutions and agricultural communities through the collection of crop tithes.
Visitors can access the interior of the barn daily from April through October, with designated parking spaces available at the nearby canal.
The barn features 14 stone pillars on each side wall, creating a symmetrical pattern of internal bays for grain storage.
