Abbey Barn

Location: Somerset, England

• Construction: Erected in the 1340s to store produce from Glastonbury Abbey estates.

• Architectural Features: Built from local limestone, it boasts a raised base-cruck roof made of oak, elm, and chestnut, spanning seven bays with two central porches.

• Preservation: One of only four surviving monastic barns linked to the abbey; restoration in the 1970s confirmed its 14th-century origins.

• Modern Role: Now part of the Somerset Rural Life Museum, celebrating rural heritage.
