Nailsea Tithe Barn dates from 1480 and, with Holy Trinity Church, is part of Nailsea’s historic heart. A school for over 200 years, it is now fully restored to its medieval origins. The vaulted ceiling, stonework and owl & putlog holes are some of the beautiful features that have been maintained, alongside all modern facilities.

This is a group of Tithe Barn enthusiasts who came together in the summer of 2024 to mark the return of the Blue Plaque that celebrates the Tithe Barn and its history as a school.
Many of those gathered had been active in rescuing the Barn from demolition, and others have joined since, as they come together for social 'get-togethers', entertainment and visits to places of interest.
Friends of the Tithe Barn meet for Coffee with Friends on the first Tuesday of each month at the Barn, and welcome anyone who would enjoy a couple of hours of friendship, occasional visitors with tales to tell, and chances to get 'out and about' from time to time.
