POINTS FROM LETTERS

TITHE BARNS.

In your issue of the Spectator for October 9th, M. Y. Awdrey states that there is a tithe barn at Glastonbury still put to its original use. As this must be getting rare, might I suggest that your correspondents, when writing on the subject of tithe barns, would, if possible, add the use to which the barn is now put 7—EDWARD PATEY, Wolborough House, Newton Abbot, S. Devon.

In reply to Mr. G. S. Hewins' letter in September 5th issue, I know of a very well-preserved tithe barn at Bradford-on- Avon, near the canal to the west of the town. I do not remember its exact length, but it is nearly twice as long as the only other one I know, that at Cherhill, mentioned by one of your correspondents.--C. W. Oi.rnzaTs, F.
