Barton Farm, beside the river Avon, was the grange farm of the Abbey of Shaftesbury’s estate of Bradford and remained a working farm into the 1960s. The largest building is the Great Barn, which is known, probably wrongly, as the Tithe Barn. It dates from about 1340 and is one of the largest and finest in the country. Externally it is all of cut ashlar stone, braced by stone buttresses. Two porches, called streys, project on both sides, larger on the north. The roof is covered with thousands of thin stone tiles. It is seen here from the canal towpath on the south side.
