Buildings of Edlesborough Parish
Tithe Barn

The end of the Tithe Barn showing its position on the High Street leading up to St Mary's Church.
When the Barn was built, the parish of Edlesborough was considerably larger than now. It took in parts of Whipsnade, Eaton Bray, Billington and Slapton and, I believe, part of Ivinghoe, and so the large amount of tithe (1/10th of harvest) collected need a lot of storage room. (Source JA Lyon)
