To accomodate tithes a barn was built and still stands as a private house to the NE of the churchyard. (1)
'In 1344 the Prior of Beauvale managed to secure the 'avoidance' of the benefices of Greasley and
Selston.... revenues were divided ... the priors taking the greater tithes and the vicars the lesser tithes... To accommodate these tithes a barn was built and still stands as a private house to
the north-east of the Churchyard'. (5)
The house is known as Tithe Barn Cottage. It was used as a barn until its conversion to a private residence in 1890. An extension was added to it shortly afterwards, but nothing is known of its architectural history prior to that date. (2)
Tithe Barn Cottage is a 2 storied rectangular building mainly built of modern brick. The steeply pitched roof is gabled and pantiled with a stone coping to the S gable. The S wall and the ground floor of the E front are built of irregularly coursed stone. No definite dating evidence was seen (visited by OS field investigators in August 1959) (3)
