Title: Granary building, Tithe Farm, Langley, Slough, 1980 [Go to resource]
Description: The farm buildings were partly demolished in the 1980s to make way for housing redevelopment. Tithes were a tax paid to the church and were calculated as a tenth part of the produce of land and stock. In the early days it was usual for the Rector to take all the tithes and pay the Vicar whatever he thought fit, with the natural result that the Vicar was often underpaid. Tithes were collected and stored in a Tithe Barn and the name Tithe Farm probably refers to this. The Granary was usually raised on short 'mushroom' columns to keep the floor dry and to keep out vermin.
