The tithe barn is at Barton Farm on the southern side of Bradford-on Avon in West Wiltshire, to the south-east of Bath.

By 1914 the building was superfluous to the farm's requirements and, rather than demolish it, the then owner, Sir Charles Hobhouse, donated the barn to the Wiltshire Archaeological Society.

[8] The apertures high above the doors, which still contain some original wood, are left unglazed to allow owls to enter in search of vermin.

[5] An attraction for visitors is the barn's interior, with its timber cruck roof spanning 14 bays divided by A-shaped trusses supporting 100 tons of stone tiles.

[3] In the 1980s, the barn was a filming location for the cult TV series Robin of Sherwood, doubling as Nottingham Castle's great hall.
