The '''Nether Poppleton TithebarnTithe Barn''' is a [[tithe barn]] at Manor Farm in the village of [[Nether Poppleton]] in the [[unitary authority]] of [[City of York]] in the [[North of England]]. Research by [[dendrochronology|dendrochronologists]] has shown that the tithe [[Barn (building)|barn]], which was built on the site of an old nunnery, is at least 450 years old.

The area surrounding the barn forms part of a [[Scheduledscheduled Ancient Monument|Scheduled Monumentmonument]] and after nearby [[Saint]]St Everilda's Church, Nether Poppleton|St [[Everilda]]'s [[parish churchChurch]], the tithe barn is the oldest, largest and most important building in both Poppletons.

== History ==

An old nunnery once occupied the site of the Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn until the [[dissolution of the monasteries]]. The Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn was then constructed on the site around 1542.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Nether Poppleton Tithe Barn |url=http://www.greatbarns.org.uk/nether_poppleton_yorks.html |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Threshing Barns}}</ref>

The building is often referred to as "Rupert's Barn" because [[Prince Rupert of the Rhine]] is said to have stationed part of his [[army]] in the barn before the [[Battle of Marston Moor]] in 1644 during the [[English Civil War]]. There is also an historical connection with the [[English Restoration|Restoration]] of King [[Charles II of England|Charles II]] because in 1660, [[Lord Fairfax]] and two hundred [[Yorkshire]] gentlemen gathered at the barn before marching into [[York]] for the proclamation of the restored [[Monarch|King]].<ref name=":1" />

The current brickwork was added during the 18th century, and it was used to store hay and potatoes during the 20th century.<ref name=":1" /> The Barn was damaged in a fire in 1928 which saw the destruction of two gables at one end and the removal of the wagon entrance.<ref name=":0" />

The area surrounding the barn forms part of a [[Scheduled Ancient Monument|Scheduled Monument]] and after nearby [[Saint]] [[Everilda]]'s [[parish church]] the tithe barn is the oldest, largest and most important building in both Poppletons.

It became a [[Grade II listed]] building on 27 August 1987<ref>{{NHLE|num=1315360 |desc=Barn at Manor Farm|accessdate=8 January 2025}}</ref> and The Friends of the Poppleton Tithe Barn ([[registered charity]] number 1060767) was then founded in 1997 to preserve and maintain the Tithe Barn for the benefit of the local community and future generations.<ref>[http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?remchar=&chyno=1060767 Register of Charities entry for Friends of the Poppleton Tithe Barn]</ref> It was restored in 1999 and completed in the year 2000. [[Prince Andrew, Duke of York|The Duke of York]] visited the Barn in 1999 whilst it was being restored.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=The History of the Tithe Barn |url=httphttps://wwwpoppletontithebarn.poppletonco.netuk/tithebarn/indexhistory#:~:text=The%20barn%20was%20built%20in,added%20in%20the%2018th%20century.htm |titleaccessdate=Poppleton3 TitheJanuary Barn2025 |accessdatewebsite=2008-07-21 www.poppletontithebarn.co.uk}}</ref>
