Background
History
There is some uncertainty about when the barn was built. The National Trust describes it as 13th-century, whereas English Heritage describe it as 14th-century; The barn was built to hold tithes collected for Evesham Abbey, which was the third largest abbey in England before the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The size of the barn is an indication of the importance of the abbey at this time. Also remaining from the Benedictine Evesham Abbey are two churches, a bell tower, a cloister arch and the Almonry.
Architecture
The barn is constructed of Blue lias stone with Cotswold stone dressings. It has a triple purlin roof which is tiled in stone. The building has had several modifications; a pair of gables on each side of the building were destroyed during the Victorian period and additions made to both sides. Smaller gables with ornate clover-leaf finials and many buttresses remain.
