Overview

History & significance

Tithe barn at Postlip Hall is a medieval agricultural building located in Gloucestershire, constructed to store the tithes collected from the surrounding parish. The structure dates from the fourteenth century and represents a significant example of vernacular ecclesiastical architecture from the late medieval period. The barn is built in timber-frame construction, a characteristic technique of its era, and retains features typical of tithe barns designed to accommodate substantial quantities of agricultural produce. As a tithe barn, it would have served the important administrative and economic function of centralising the portion of local harvests owed to the church, making it a valuable historical record of medieval parochial organisation and the material wealth of the established church.
