Description

The Tithe Barn, built in 1671, is a Grade II listed structure located on Manor Road in Dersingham. This barn is constructed from squared clunch and carstone, with brick dressings and a red pantiled roof. It consists of two three-stead threshing barns built end to end. The west face features a squared carstone plinth, a brick set-off, and squared clunch above. There are two brick-dressed ventilation slits, and the carstone coursing along with a dogtooth dentil eaves cornice suggests that the barn may have been heightened. The building has brick quoins and brick dressings around two leaf boarded doors, as well as a central brick wedge buttress. The roof is steeply pitched.

On the south gable, there are three brick-dressed ventilation slits at the ground floor and three more in the gable. The gable also features a brick string course, brick quoins, kneelers, and stepped gables topped with triangular section brick copings. A date stone set in a rectangular brick frame on the gable bears the inscription "1671 IULY THE 31". Inside, there are two pairs of "S" curve purlin irons. The barn is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, with County Number 271.
