More about this scene
This is a fine old tithe barn. Its size indicates the former status of the produce belonging to the church that was stored there, harvested from land once owned by the bishopric of Worcester. This photograph was taken soon after the restoration of the barn and its conversion to a village hall; this was largely financed by the Smiths Company. The hall was officially opened by W S Morrison, Speaker of the House of Commons, in 1956. Still called the Village Hall, outwardly it remains today as it did 50 years ago. The farm buildings on the right behind the tithe barn have been replaced by a new supermarket accessed from the bypass.
