The Tithe Barn is a Grade II* listed medieval building, dating back to the 15th century. Architectural features include solid pennant stone walls and a fine timber roof of considerable historical significance.

The Nailsea Tithe Barn Trust has been established as a Charity to raise the funds to restore the Tithe Barn for use as a community facility. The £1.4m project has secured £750,000 funding so far (including a Stage One Pass from Heritage Lottery Fund which will secure a £500,000 contribution) but we need to raise a further £200,000 by the spring of 2008.

We have launched a number of fund raising schemes and are busily raising money.  Like any voluntary group, we need volunteers to help with fundraising, as well as a myriad of other things.  Any help you can provide would really be useful.

The Tithe Barn is owned by North Somerset Council and leased to and managed by Nailsea Town Council, working in conjunction with local community groups, in particular Holy Trinity Parish Church.  The Trustees have been appointed to manage the project on a day to day basis.

The Trustees plan to restore and refurbish the building with grant aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) English Heritage, Nailsea Town Council, other funding bodies and local support.
