Tithe barn at Fittleton Manor: northern aspect
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 16 May 2016
Situated along the northern boundary of the manor house grounds. When I first captioned this image I described the barn as a 'thatched out-building'. Though it seemed to be a medieval barn, I was puzzled by the narrow doorways on the other (inward-facing) side - stable half-doors, Since then, I have found that the building is generally referred to as a tithe barn. Plainly the south-facing wall of the building is later http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4957908 - the half-moon windows look Georgian - so my guess is that the barn was converted to stables at some stage in the 18th century. In any case, it's a handsome building, reminding me of Cressing Temple (in a different part of England altogether): http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4618556
