The History of The Great Tythe Barn

The Great Tythe Barn, a Grade II listed building, is steeped in history and stands as one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Dating back to the 16th century, this elaborate stone barn was originally part of an expansive Monastic farm used for storing tithes – one tenth of the produced goods given to the Church as a tax. Surviving through eras of civil war, agricultural revolution, and industrial transformation, the barn remained a vital part of the local farming community. In the 20th century, the estate changed hands multiple times and, at one point, was used as a refuge for people during the war. The barn fell into disrepair until it was painstakingly restored in the 1990s, preserving its original features with a delicate blend of modern luxury. Today, the Great Tythe Barn is a sought-after venue, retaining its historic charm while offering a luxurious setting for nuptials and other celebrations. With its cobblestone courtyard, beautifully manicured gardens, and the stunning stone barn itself, the Great Tythe Barn’s legacy continues to flourish as it adds new chapters to its enduring history.

FAQs

Picking your The Great Tythe Barn Wedding Photographer- why Pedge Photography?

Besides the fact that you are getting a highly professional, experienced, and creative photographer who will capture all of the special moments of your wedding day, family and friends, you are getting someone that goes in to each wedding knowing that every couple is unique and that all weddings deserve their own twist and personality, rather than be provided a conveyor belt experience. I take great pride to subtly merge into your day and to be approachable for all your guests. The Cotswolds is an area I grew up in and I am all too familiar with everything the region has to offer. 

What products do you offer as a The Great Tythe Barn Wedding Photographer?

This can bespoke based on your needs. All packages include a digital gallery in which you, your family and friends can enter with a password and download to any device. On top of this, you can also purchase prints, framed goods and albums through the digital gallery. If you would like me to build you an album, I offer an additional album package as well. Other bits, should you wish to choose them, include a pre-wedding shoot in the cotswolds or a second photographer for your wedding day.

How long do you stay with us for our The Great Tythe Barn wedding?

I’m an all day photographer and will be with you from roughly two hours before your ceremony until at least the first dance ( and beyond – got to catch all those drunk friends cutting some shapes on the dancefloor!).

Will you travel beyond the Cotswolds for our wedding day?

Of course! Although I describe myself as a Cotswolds wedding photographer, I am happy to travel beyond. Drop me a message to find out more!
