History of The Tithe Barn
Our Tithe Barn was given to the Parish Council in 1978. It was judged to be in need of extensive repair. For example, daylight streamed in from all the walls onto the dirt floor. Over the years the Parish Council, with the help of various grants and the hard work of the community, has put in a floor, renewed all the cladding, renewed the thatch, concreted the yard, converted a store into a block of toilets and added some background heating.
In 2005 the Parish Council was awarded £50,000 of Big Lottery money and a Suffolk Environmental Trust (SET) grant of £20,000. These funds were used to convert the east store into a kitchen and small meeting room (called the Barley Room). These new facilities, opened in September 2006, have enabled the Parish Council to implement new community services such as Senior Citizens' Lunches and Computer Courses, and to attract more income from lettings. Between 2007 & 2009 the Parish Council obtained grants of over £120,000 to insulate the Tithe Barn.
