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.
After a break over the Christmas period, Friends of the Tithe Barn will be meeting once again on Tuesday 3rd February. This jolly group of people enjoy a fondness for the Tithe Barn, an interest in its history and, most importantly, a chance to meet together with likeminded folk. Most sessions involve an interesting presentation - sometimes related to the history of Nailsea and the Tithe Barn, but also subjects ranging from wildlife conservation, the War Graves Commission and even a talk by Jon Tout about the evolution of the family business (enjoyed by everyone!).

Since the re-opening of the Tithe Barn, school visits have been a very important part of the Trust's commitment to ensuring that the Tithe Barn and its history are always in the forefront of the story of Nailsea.
A school has existed in one form or another since Hannah More came to Nailsea and persuaded the Church authorities to donate a space for this first school.
The school grew and grew, until finally ending its place in the Tithe Barn in 1990s.
Since the Barn's splendid restoration classes have visited the Barn regularly to learn about its life in Victorian times and also during WW2.
We are fortunate to have wonderful copies of school Log Books which are a treasure trove of information.
