Leigh Court Barn is a cruck framed tithe barn at Leigh, Worcestershire, built in the early fourteenth century to store produce for Pershore Abbey.
The hamlet stands where the Leigh Brook enters the River Teme, and barn overlooks the meadows dowto the riverbanks.
This is the largest and one of the oldest cruck barns in Britain, measuring over 141 feet long, 36 feet wide and 29 feet high, supported by nine pairs of massive oak beams. Radiocarbon dating places its construction about 1325.[1][2]
