Sullington church is about 2 miles from a Village tucked on the side of a hill, it was a long way to church, on a winters day, But typical of a christian church build over a pagan site, well that's what i think, and well i am at it, you will find a yew tree in most church yards, the tree of death, a yew is a long lived tree, and they can regenerate themselves!, and live for a thousand years+, The tree of death, in a pagan thought, grows where the dead return!, for man dies into light!!, its wonderful what a little reading can do.
Tithe Barn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 wouldn't 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).
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!!.
