Medieval Barn

English Heritage bought this Grade I-listed Harmondsworth Barn in west London for £20,000 last year to save it from neglect and decay. Built in 1426 for Winchester College, it has an interior worthy of the nave of a large medieval church. No coincidence perhaps, as it was built to store grain from the lands of the Bishop of Winchester. Profits from the grain funded Winchester College. It was still in use until the 1970s and is the best preserved and largest surviving medieval timber barn in England. English Heritage will open the barn to the public on two Sundays a month from April to October and hopes to open it every Sunday in the same period the following year.
