Restoration

Members of the Nailsea Tithe Barn Trust have worked unstintingly to ensure that the historical significance of the site – through barn to school and community centre for over five hundred years– has been researched and carefully preserved for future generations.

Thanks to local fundraising, Nailsea Town Council, Holy Trinity Church and the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Trust has lovingly restored the Tithe Barn as a beautiful community venue with great acoustics and modern facilities (including kitchen). This reflects more than a decade of dedication by local people and a total investment of £1.2 million.

Nailsea Town Council and the Tithe Barn Trust are now proud to open the grade 2* listed building for public use.
