It is of some ancillary abbey buildings, probably post-dissolutiion; the barn-like structure is in fact the carriage entrance to the stable block for Cosener's House (the building with the tall chimneys on the far left of the photo), the residence of the abbey kitchener or 'cuisenier'. The cottage to the left of the entrance was the gardener's cottage, probably rebuilt on the site of a derelict abbey fulling mill after the Dissolution of the abbey. Not quite as romantic as a tithe barn, but still an historic site.Judy Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575851305912668247.post-32896907020427711832011-03-09T21:40:31.925-06:002011-03-09T21:40:31.925-06:00We have been unable to determine with any certaint...We have been unable to determine with any certainty whether the tithe barn is still standing or not, which is why the building was not listed among the surviving nor lost buildings at Abingdon Abbey.Glessner House Museumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299106190780884592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575851305912668247.post-69333343200983320762011-03-09T10:08:07.657-06:002011-03-09T10:08:07.657-06:00It's not clear to me whether this barn is stan...It's not clear to me whether this barn is standing today.

It's amazing how Richardson incorporated the look of the barn into the 18th Street portion of the house and coach house, but yet still made it distinctive in its own right.Stephen Reginaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050782148081105899noreply@blogger.com
