 | | Manor Farm, including the Barn, had been in local authority control since 1913, and a serious fire in 1928 had destroyed a large part of the Barn. |
 | | The Friends of Poppleton Tithe Barn were formed in 1994 by the Poppleton Preservation Group, to manage the Tithe Barn Restoration Project, a scheme to restore the Barn and preserve it for the community. |
 | | Following a lengthy period of fund-raising, the Tithe Barn was awarded a grant of £171,500 by the Heritage Lottery Fund in 1998, later rising to £193,000. |
