14th century tithe barn at the heart of Easington village, which would have been used to store church taxes paid by farmers in the form of grain. The building has a timber frame and walls of hand-made bricks. The main part of the thatched roof is made from reeds and the top ridge constructed out of straw. A horse engine shed (not seen here) has been added to the western wall. [Information supplied by hidden-holderness.org]
