MenuThe Great Barn, Middlesex
The Great Barn is an early 15th-century barn at Hardmondsworth, Middlesex. Described by Betjeman as the "Cathedral of Middlesex", it is an outstanding example of a late mediæval aisled barn and is the largest timber-framed building in England. A "Great Barn" was on the site as early as 1110. The manor of Harmondsworth was given to Winchester College by the Bishop of Winchester around 1391. The college's records indicate that in 1426–7 it commissioned two men to obtain timbers from Kingston upon Thames to use for a new barn at Harmondsworth. It is within the council area of Hillingdon.
