About

In the care of English Heritage, and free. The barn, built about 1400, is 272 feet long and the largest thatched tithe barn anywhere; it is an events venue now, so you see it from the lane unless there is a fair on. The abbey remains beside the church are open any reasonable time in daylight. The chapel on the hill was built for pilgrims in the late 1300s; the hill and the outside are open any time in daylight, and English Heritage runs booked tours of the inside on selected days. Park in the village car park off Rodden Row.
