Barn reputed to date from the 15th Century, unusual in Surrey as being a double barn. Although described as a tithe barn, it is thought more properly to have been the main barn for the various farms owned by the local lord of the manor. From 1775 to 1847, the rector of All Saints Church was also lord of the manor, which may explain how it came to become the tithe barn too. Disuse led to it falling into disrepair but it was restored in 2013-4. Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1191338.
