Great Coxwell Tithe Barn

 * – (View AfD)

Notability concerns, lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Addhoc (talk) 13:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename - I think this article should be renamed rather than deleted - it's not a 'Tithe' barn, but a 'monastic grange' Great Barn. This is a notable building (Grade I listed and owned by the National Trust) and one of the few 'monastic' buildings to survive Henry VIII and dating from about 1300 - 1310 (dendrochronology) WikiWriter (talk) 14:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:OUTCOMES (and WP:LOCAL, possibly) has precedents, this is an historic building, under management of the National Trust. The word tithe appears disputed, so I'd support the rename. Yng  varr  15:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * speedy keep. This is the first example cited under "Tithe barn" in Sue Clifford and Angela King, England in Particular (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2006), ISBN 0340826169, pp. 410-411, with the comments "A favourite building of Mies van der Rohe", "This, the finest of medieval tithe barns ... attempted to create sheltered volume without load-bearing walls", "It is an astonishing survival, with wooden posts and beams so elegantly and carefully framed ... that they have carried the weight and resisted the thrust of the huge stone tile roof for more than seven hundred years".

Charles, The Great Barn at Bredon (1997), ISBN 1900188279, pp. 14-16. --Paularblaster (talk) 19:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
