Tithe barn is a medieval agricultural building located in Yorkshire, England. The structure dates from the medieval period and served the practical function of storing agricultural produce, particularly grain and other crops collected as tithes owed to the Church. As a tithe barn, it represents an important category of monastic and ecclesiastical infrastructure that was essential to the economic organisation of medieval parishes and dioceses. The building survives as a testament to the substantial resources required to manage and store the agricultural wealth that supported religious institutions during the medieval period.
