Middle Littleton Tithe Barn

The stone barn spans 130 feet in length and 42 feet in width, featuring blue lias walls with Cotswold stone dressing and stone tile roofing.

Built in the middle of the 13th century, this Grade I listed structure served as a storage facility for collecting one-tenth of local farmers' agricultural produce.

The barn represents medieval agricultural practices through its architectural elements, including raised cruck construction and traditional wooden timber framework methods.

Visitors can reach the barn through a farmyard near the manor house, with the nearest train station at Honeybourne, located 3.5 miles from the site.

Eight buttresses support the side walls while three reinforce the end, marking the locations of internal divisions within this massive medieval structure.
