Llanthony Priory, Remains Of Tythe Barn On North Side Of Inner Court

The remains of the Tythe Barn are located on the north side of the Inner Court of Llanthony Priory and date back to the 15th century. Constructed from ashlar with an inner core and some internal wall faces made of brick, this impressive and symmetrical double entry threshing barn features ten bays. On the south side, there are two wagon porches; one projects from the third bay and the other from the eighth bay, with corresponding doorways on the north side.

On the exterior, most of the wall between the east porch and the south-west corner has been demolished to near ground level. The bays are marked by offset buttresses, with diagonal buttresses at each gable end and at the outer corners of the porches. There is a continuous offset plinth with moulded capping on the walls and buttresses, as well as chamfered ventilation slits. The front of the buttresses aligns with the north porches, which feature a hoodmould over a chamfered four-centred archway on the east side, and a partially surviving similar detail on the west. The gabled east porch on the south side has a carved cornice that extends across the front and a hollow-chamfered four-centred arch. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
