The interior of the 14th or 15th century Tithe Barn Houghton Regis. It is thought to have been built by Abbot John Moore in 1396 - 140.
The barn was so large that a farm-wagon could be driven straight in through the doors. At the beginning of the century Sunday School Treats were held there.
It was torn down in 1964. A travesty demolishing such an important building to make way for the Bedford Square shopping centre.
