A tithe barn was a type of barn used in much of northern Europe in the Middle Ages for storing tithes—one tenth of a farm's produce which was given to the Church. Tithe barns were usually associated with the village church or rectory and independent farmers took their tithes there. The village priests would not have to pay tithes—the purpose of the tithe being their support—and some had their own farms anyway, which are now village greens in some villages. According to English Heritage, "exactly how barns in general were used in the Middle Ages is less well understood than might be expected, and the subject abounds with myths (for example, not one of England's surviving architecturally impressive barns was a tithe barn, although such barns existed)".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Research on Harmondsworth Barn )〕 There are nevertheless surviving examples of medieval barns in England, some of them bearing the title "tithe barn" even if the barn may not have really been a tithe barn according to the English Heritage criteria.〔Thus the Great Coxwell "Tithe Barn" was not really a tithe barn according to English Heritage.〕 * Aberford C of E Primary School, Aberford, Leeds (Aberford School was based on a redundant tithe barn) * Bank Hall Barn, Bretherton, Lancashire * The Bishop's Barn, Wells, Somerset * Bishop's Cleeve Tithe Barn, Gloucestershire〔http://www.cleevetithebarn.org.uk〕 * Bradford on Avon Tithe Barn, Wiltshire * Church of the Holy Ghost, Midsomer Norton, Somerset * East Riddlesden Hall (National Trust) * The Great Barn, Titchfield * Great Coxwell Tithe Barn, Oxfordshire * Harmondsworth Great Barn, Harmondsworth, Middlesex * Landbeach Tithe Barn, Landbeach, Cambridgeshire * Melling (Tithebarn, Merseyside c.18th Century ) * Middle Littleton tithe barn * Nether Poppleton Tithebarn, City of York * Swalcliffe Barn, Oxfordshire * Tithe Barn, Dunster, Dunster〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dunster Tithe Barn )〕 * Tithe Barn, Maidstone, Kent * Tithe Barn, Manor Farm, Doulting, Somerset * Tithe Barn, Pilton, Somerset * Upper Heyford tithe barn, Oxfordshire * Haddenham tithe barn, Buckinghamshire * West Pennard Court Barn One surviving example of a medieval tithe barn in Germany: * Castle of Lissingen, Rhineland-Palatinate == See also == * Bishop's storehouse * Staddle stones: Function * Tithe maps 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tithe barn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
