Dating from c.1300, the great barn at Great Coxwell belonged to the Cistercian monks of Beaulieu Abbey, and was used to store the tithing dues of the tenants of the grange. It was much admired by William Morris of Kelmscott. The internal architecture is aisled with double-braced beams and joined with pegged mortice and tenon joints, though the longditudinal timbers are scarfed with splayed joints. Owned now by the English National Trust It's a lovely place for a Summer picnic. See also: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-greatcoxwellbarn
