Tithe Barn, Medieval tithe barn in Carlisle, England
The Tithe Barn features oak roof trusses supported by large timber posts, with a thick sandstone wall on its south side measuring 1.09 meters.
Prior Thomas Gondibour constructed this barn during the 1470s as part of the Priory of St Mary, which later became integrated with Carlisle Cathedral.
The building has served multiple functions throughout centuries, transforming from a storage facility to a dispensary, stable, and now a community gathering space.
Located at Heads Lane in Carlisle, the Grade I listed building operates as a venue for social events, meetings, and church activities.
The restoration project in 1969 preserved the medieval timber structure by individually repairing each massive oak truss and replacing all wooden pegs.
