Medieval people typically went to the tithe barn once a year to pay their tithes. Tithes were a form of tax or contribution, usually one-tenth of a person's income or produce, which was collected by the church. The tithe barn served as a storage facility for the tithes until they were distributed or sold.

What was tithing in the middle ages?
A tithe is when the peasants/serfs of medieval times had to pay the church one tenth of all their earnings. I am unsure how frequently they had to make this payment but if they didn't they could be excommunicated. The tithes were stored in a tithe barn which was a large building in the centre of the manor. hope this helps!! :)

How would a preast make a living in medieval times?
Unlike chaplains, priests were not funded by a wealthy patron and they had to depend on their parishioners for their livelihood.Priests were appointed to a particular church, either in a town or rural parish. Their financial income depended largely on the number of people in their congregation.People in England paid a kind of tax to their priest, known as circe-sceat in Old English (now called Church-scot). They also made a donation "to the altar" at weddings, baptisms and funerals (normally a single penny). One-tenth (a tithe) of all their produce or income was also collected each year by the local priest, who was responsible for ensuring that it was correctly assessed and collected. Cereal crops would then be stored in a "tithe barn"; a portion of this produce could be kept by the priest himself, the rest belonging to the Church as an institution.It follows that the size of this income depended on the number of people involved, so a priest in a small, rural parish would often be living in extreme poverty, while a priest in a town parish could be far better off.Priests also had a small plot of land for growing their own food crops. They might farm this themselves or employ someone to farm it for them.

What is a tithe barn why did Medieval England use a tithe barn and what happened in a tithe barn?
The word "tithe" is from Old English teoða, which means a tenth.A tithe was a tax of one-tenth of all produce or income imposed by the Church (not the government, as has been incorrectly claimed in another answer) on everyone in each parish, so farming peasants were forced to give a tenth of everything they grew to their local priest. This produce would go straight into a community tithe barn, where it would be stored for a time; in most cases it would then be used to feed Church employees and the priest himself, or it could go to a local monastery, or it might be sold at market rates and the money would go into Church coffers.The tithe was universally hated since it imposed an additional unwelcome burden on the poorest people in society, who were also bound to pay money taxes, rents, fines and other obligatory payments to their feudal lord.In a particularly bad season when the crop was poor or was damaged by insects, weather or disease, the tithe might be returned as a charitable donation to the farming peasants, but it would be a meagre food supply in such cases and starvation was a real threat.
What is a tything?
Answer Usually spelt "Tithing", it means giving over a tithe, or one tenth, of your income, originally as a tax, but nowadays as voluntary contribution to a religious or cultural organisation. In mediavel times, when the tax was paid in goods rather than money, many English towns had a Tithe Barn where the collected goods were stored. In some places, including Liverpool, there is still a "Tithebarn Street" where the tithe Barn once stood.
