Information about the barn taken from English Heritage:
The barn at Harmondsworth was built in 1425–7 on land bought by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, in 1391, to endow Winchester College. Used mainly to store cereal crops before threshing, it remained in agricultural use until the 1970s. At 58 metres (192 ft) long and 11.4 metres (37 ft 6 in) wide, the barn is one of the largest ever known to have been built in the British Isles, and the largest intact medieval timber-framed barn in England. It was bought by English Heritage in 2011. ​​

THE PRIORY OF HARMONDSWORTH, 1069–1391:
As a property of Harold II, King of the English, the manor of Harmondsworth passed to William I at the Norman Conquest. In 1069 the new king granted it to the abbey of La Sainte-Trinité du Mont, just outside Rouen in Normandy. In 1391 the manor of Harmondsworth was sold to William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester (d.1404), who was then accumulating an endowment for his newly founded college at Winchester. A bailiff was installed in the prior’s house to manage the estate, and the house and farm buildings inherited from the monks, including a ‘corn barn’ and a ‘great barn’, were repaired.
Long after the Manor House being demolished the barn remained operational until 1974.
