Tithe Barn at Croxley Hall Farm

The Tithe Barn at Croxley Hall Farm is a Grade II* listed building, likely constructed between 1396 and 1401 for the Abbey of St. Albans during the abbacy of John Moote. The barn features a timber frame with a base made of flint, clunch, and brick, and is weatherboarded with a tiled roof. It measures 101 feet by 38.5 feet and consists of five bays with a nave and aisles, along with a two-bay entrance porch.

The central gabled entrance porch on the east side has double doors, while the base includes 17th-century brick buttresses and a low door to the east. There are additional doors to the north and west, complemented by two fixed windows with 16 panes each. The roof is half hipped with gablets.

Inside, the barn has a hoggin floor that is lime washed, and the walls are made of 5-foot high flint with clunch quoins and coping that separates each bay in the aisles. The structure features two central crown post trusses, with outer collar and tie beam trusses. Arched braces connect jowled arcade posts to tie beams and arcade plates, while crown posts are braced to the crown plate. There are passing braces from wall posts to tie beams with lap joints to aisle ties and arcade posts, as well as intermediate braces from wall posts to arcade plates. The end walls include arched braces, and the entrance porch has angled queen struts that clasp the purlins. The barn was restored in 1975.
