Tithe Barn is a substantial medieval agricultural building located in Oxfordshire, dating to the fourteenth century. The structure served as a storage facility for tithes, the portion of agricultural produce collected by the Church as a form of taxation, and exemplifies the ecclesiastical economic infrastructure of medieval England. Built with timber framing and characteristic of the period's vernacular architecture, the barn preserves important evidence of rural medieval life and the Church's role in managing agricultural resources. Its survival to the present day makes it a significant example of fourteenth-century building practice and monastic or ecclesiastical property management.
