Somerset Rural Life Museum reopend on 3rd June 2017 following a major £2.4 million redevelopment. The museum contains a history of social and agricultural in Somerset and is housed in buildings surrounding a 14th-century barn once belonging to Glastonbury Abbey. It was used as a Tithe barn for the storage of arable produce, particularly wheat and rye, from the abbey's home farm of approximately 524 acres (2.12 km2). Threshing and winnowing would also have been carried out in the barn. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
