The Tithe barn at Court Farm is a substantial agricultural building situated in Dorset and designated as a monument of historic importance. The structure dates from the medieval period and served the practical function of storing the tithes—typically grain and other produce—collected from local parishioners as a form of religious tax owed to the church. Such tithe barns are characteristic features of the medieval landscape, reflecting the economic power and organisation of the ecclesiastical institutions that commissioned them. The barn's survival to the present day provides evidence of medieval agricultural practice and the material infrastructure through which the church exercised its financial rights over the land.
