JudyIt is a storehouse, not a church or temple. God never required you to tithe money. The landowners, farmers, and herdsmen were required to tithe. This does not apply to the church.

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 was direct royal taxation on land or property in the middle ages?
Tax in the Middle Ages was known as a tithe, Farmers had to offer a tenth of their harvest, while craftsmen had to offer a tenth of their production. Obviously, there were many different taxes in the Middle Ages, levied by different sources. You might pay taxes to your liege lord, your town, your trade guild, or even to your King. Under a Feudal system, taxes were most commonly paid in a form of promised service or in goods, rather than in money. The tithe was a specific form of religious tax, paid to the Catholic Church. As noted above, a tithe was one-tenth of your total yearly income or output, to be paid to your local church.

How did the church get money in the middle ages?
In terms of wealth and land ownership the Church was second only to the King.Money, property, valuables and land were given to the Church by wealthy aristocrats, who believed that this ensured the health of their souls after death; they were called donors and there were many throughout the medieval period.Money was also generated in "tithes" - everyone had to give a tenth of their income or crop to the Church by law. The crops went into tithe barns and it could be used to feed the starving poor in times of need; otherwise it might be sold to generate money for the Church's coffers.People paid for church services such as weddings, burials and baptisms; this was called an offering to the altar, but it went to the priest. Church-scot was a kind of tax levied on all parishioners, also going to the priest.Some noblemen paid for the building of a private chapel and then paid for a chaplain to staff it; again they expected to gain a reward in Heaven as a result.Some Orders of monks (particularly the Cistercians) were excellent businessmen and generated massive incomes from sheep farming and wool production.
