» Phase 1 of the extension of now complete. The builders have left the site and it looks amazing! We are now in the throws of finding more money to finish the job. We only need £75,000 to complete the whole project and we are seeking funding as hard as we can. To find out more about the extension click here. To help raise funds contact the chairman. However, in the meanwhile we are not able to use the new building or the lift, sorry. If you have any ideas how we might raise the money, and if you would like to be shown round Phase 1, please send us an email.

Like old buildings? Care about the built heritage of Bishop's Cleeve? Would you like to help keep the Barn
in good repair? Do you love old buildings?
Do you have some basic experience of
buildings? Jim Stevenson has been doing an amazing job in looking after the Barn
over the last few years but now needs to step down. We need someone who will
manage the maintenance, meet with local tradesmen to show then what needs to be
done, and keep the maintenance plan up to date. We are not necessarily looking
for someone to do DIY, but we are looking for someone to give no more than a
couple of hours per week on average and to take responsibility, along with the
management committee, for the maintenance of the Barn. If you are interested
please contact John Beattie on 01242 672089.

Why the Tithe Barn? We want to make the most of
out history and make it accessible to more people. Please have a
look at our
plans on the History link on the left or click
here. If you are interested in the
history of the Tithe Barn or of Bishop's Cleeve please get in touch with us.
email us now. You may have
noticed that there are some interesting pictures of the village in the main
hall, what you may not have realised is that they are changed regularly. So next
time you are in the main hall have another look. Thanks to Jim Stevenson for the
provision of the pictures and for changing them.

The
year of the volunteer is not a one off event, but a continuing need for
volunteers.
As
the extension progresses, we need new trustees to help us run the
Tithe Barn. It is part of our build heritage and we are privileged to be able to
use it for a village hall, but it doesn't run itself. We are all volunteers who
give a little time to this. It is not a life sentence, you can say how much time
you are prepared to give, but the more people who contribute the less each has
to do. Please see our
volunteering page for more details.
If you would like to donate to the Tithe Barn Extension Project please use the BigGive button.
The BigGive, sponsored by the Reed Foundation, is a facility for collecting funds for a number of projects round the world.
All the money you donate will come to the Tithe Barn. Or if you would prefer you can contact the chair of trustees directly.
