The tithe barn is a medieval agricultural building located in Somerset, England. Built in the fourteenth century, it served the essential function of storing tithes—the tenth part of agricultural produce owed to the church or monastic authority. The structure exemplifies the substantial stone construction typical of major tithe barns, designed to accommodate substantial quantities of grain and other harvested goods. Its survival into the modern period makes it an important witness to medieval ecclesiastical land management and the economic organisation of rural parishes.
