A very good experience indeed with an admission fee of only £6 per adult. Not busy. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. A 30 minute visit is enough with a pleasant country walk nearby.

Had a really incredible visit to grange barn. Definitely recommend the visit while passing through. I enjoyed hearing about the vast history but also how it was refurbished with professionals with help of young people whom they taught their skills. some of which it became their careers. The surrounding area also has some beautiful historical properties to view as well

One of Europe’s oldest timber-framed buildings, Grange Barn stands as a lasting reminder of the once-powerful Coggeshall Abbey. With oak pillars soaring up to a cathedral-like roof, bearing the weight of centuries, it was saved and restored in the 1980s. This 13th-century building has truly stood the test of time.

Ancient monastic barn saved from near collapse by local villagers and later given to the National Trust. One would think there's little to an empty barn but the volunteer guides have a great deal of information on the barns history which covers some 800 years! There are also information boards inside plus a short video showing the extensive work required to restore the barn to its former glory. There is more to see in the nearby village, ruins of the former monastery and a museum. Both are free to enter. Entry to Grange Barn is free to National Trust members of £5.50 for non members. Parking is free for all. Please note that there are no toilet facilities on site. There is no tea room but you can buy hot and cold drinks,crisps and sweets. Booking to visit Grange Barn is not necessary. If you are visiting here, National Trusts Paycock House is just 5 minutes away and it's easy to visit both in a day. Please remember to book Paycock House on their website
