The Medieval barn at Pilton
Image: © Nigel Freeman Taken: 2 Aug 2005
Recently restored, this medieval barn was originally built in the 13th century or before for Glastonbury Abbey. In 1963 lightning set fire to the roof and it remained a wreck until Michael Eavis, organiser of the Glastonbury Festival and owner, presented the barn to the Pilton Barn Trust. A new roof, faithfully replicating the original, has been built using skills used when creating the Globe theatre in London.
