On Tithebarn Road

The approximate location of the 18th century Tithe Barn, from which both the road and the village (Hale Barns) takes its name. The old structure - which was demolished generations ago - was very substantial (18 yards long and 18 feet wide) - so it could store that portion of produce (one tenth) which local farmers paid to the parish: a practice widespread across Europe at the time.
