Summary:

About 2,000 tithe barns were built in England between 1066 and 1400, and 200 or so of these simple, functional structures with extraordinary interior timber framing remain standing throughout the English countryside. This guide to tithe barns provides b&w diagrams and drawings to show how the massive structural timbers were joined and how other aspects of the buildings were created. An inventory lists existing barns by location and includes construction date and current use and condition. Includes 70 b&w photos of barns during different phases of restoration. Lacks an index.
