Bredon Tythe barn is a fourteenth century tythe barn in Worcestershire, built for the bishops of Worcester. It was used by the bishops and successive lords of the manor to store produce, such as 27,000 cubic feet of grain.
In 1951 it was given to the National Trust, but suffered a fire in 1980, and has since been restored, with original timbers used wherever possible.
Up a series of stone steps on the side of the barn is the Reeve's chamber. The Reeve was the manager of the barn, and history records various Reeves, some good managers, others who embezzled funds meant for repair of the barn.
