| Information | |
The Adderbury Tithe Barn is a mediæval barn which stands in the village of Adderbury in northern Oxfordshire. The barn is, after the parish church, the oldest building in the village: its oldest parts date from 1422.
The barn is a Grade II listed building, having missed a higher grade because of additions and alterations made in the modern era.[1]
The Tithe Barn stands near the parish church, St Mary's. It was built for New College, Oxford, dated mainly to the 14th century.<name=pev/> but with it earliest parts dated to 1422.
The walls are of ashlar marlstone and the roof is of Stonesfield slate. In the 17th century the barn was reduced to its present length of five bays and partly rebuilt. In about 1877 it was altered for Lawrence Palk, 1st Baron Haldon.
The barn has similarities with tithe barns at Swalcliffe and Upper Heyford, both of which were also built for New College early in the 15th century.
