Yesterday I was delighted to attend a drinks reception at Landbeach Tithe Barn as the Trust Chairman.
At the event, during my speech, I revealed the great news that we have secured formal charity status from the Charity Commission. In all over 45 people attended the event, helping to raise additional much needed funds.
The Landbeach Tithe Barn is a wonderful building from the Tudor period. It was used for the Parish Priest to receive 10% of local farmers produce.
Why is it so important to save the Landbeach Tithe Barn? Tithe Barns are now quite rare in the UK. The Landbeach Tithe Barn one is the last remaining example in Cambridgeshire
and the only one with its original brick floor. It is estimated it was built as early as 1527 – so it is approaching it’s 500th anniversary.

I very much do hope that we can secure the long term future of this wonderful Tudor building for future generations.
