Description

The Tithe Barn, located on Dunster Priory Green, dates back to the 16th century, although it has undergone significant alterations and retains limited original features. It is constructed of rubble and has a high-pitched slate roof with a porch on each long elevation. The barn follows a cruciform plan. The east front features a central double door set within a heavy, chamfered oak frame, flanked by later single wooden casement windows. Three buttresses are visible on the west side, and slit windows are present in the gable ends. The roof is an open timber structure which has been renewed. A later, single-storey range of outbuildings attached to the south-east corner is not part of the listed building.

Local climate

Tithe Barn sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,130 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
