EDITORS COMMENTS
Ashleworth Tithe Barn, Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, England: A Snapshot of History This evocative photograph captures the enduring beauty and historical significance of Ashleworth Tithe Barn, located in the picturesque village of Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, England. The barn was constructed around 1500 by the canons of St Augustine's Abbey in Bristol. At the time, tithe barns like this one were essential structures for collecting and storing agricultural produce to pay the tithes, or taxes, to the church. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the barn passed into secular use. Over the centuries, it weathered the test of time, its sturdy stone walls and intricately patterned tiles enduring through the elements. In 1956, the barn was acquired by The National Trust, ensuring its preservation for future generations. The photograph, taken in the 1980s by renowned photographer Philip Dunn, showcases the barn's striking features. The imposing stone structure, with its distinctive roof of red tiles, stands proudly on the street, a testament to the rich history of the region. The image, first published in The Sunday Times in 1988, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the value of preserving our heritage for future generations.
