The Tithe Barn in Maidstone, Kent, is a large two-storey stone building on the east side of Mill Street.

The barn is constructed of roughly coursed rag-stone rubble walls in six buttressed bays.

The tiled roof is of crown post construction and is hipped at both ends with a gable over the porch.

Concerned about the effect higher costs and lower incomes were having on the carriage owning classes, leading to thousands of examples being broken up every year, he determined to preserve a selection of, preferably coach-built, non-mechanically propelled vehicles.

Among its collection of 60 vehicles are sedan chairs, a hansom cab and Queen Victoria's state landau.
