National Trust.
Great Coxwell Barn was built in the mid thirteenth century for the Cistercian abbey of Beaulieu. 152 feet long, it has buttressed walls of Cotswold stone, and a soaring stone-tiled roof with its rafters supported on slim oak timbers. Projecting porches either side of the barn house the original doors.
This is an impressive building and worth seeking out if you are in the area. The visit won’t detain you long, however.
