}}[[The Doctor]] once slept in '''a barn''' as a child. They later returned to the site in four of their later incarnations, including on their return to Gallifrey after saving it in the [[Last Great Time War]]. The barn was located in the [[drylands]] of Gallifrey, near to the [[Capitol]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')

During the [[First Doctor]]'s childhood, he would retreat to the barn to cry so that the other children wouldn't hear him. On one such occasion, [[Clara Oswald]] used [[telepathic circuit]]s to land [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] in the barn and comfort the Doctor, telling him the story of how he would return to the barn one day and that he should use fear to his advantage. ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'')

The [[War Doctor]] returned to the barn, bringing with him [[the Moment]], which he intended to use to destroy Gallifrey, the [[Time Lord]]s and the [[Dalek]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') He returned to his childhood home as he believed he could only find courage to meet his end by returning to the beginning. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') However, the Moment opened a [[time fissure]] leading to his future to show him the consequences of his actions. The War Doctor returned from the future with the Moment ready to detonate. Soon after his arrival, the [[Tenth Doctor]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and a younger version of Clara Oswald arrived to assist him in Gallifrey's destruction. However, the Moment showed them the direct consequences of their actions and the Eleventh Doctor decided to alter their plan. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

After returning to [[Gallifrey]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] returned to the barn and went into the loft where he slept as a child. A [[The Woman (Hell Bent)|woman]] came in yelling at him that the things in the barn were for "the boys", but upon recognising him, told the Doctor that he would be killed for coming back to Gallifrey. Angry at the death of [[Clara Oswald]], the Doctor took a stand outside of the barn against [[Rassilon]], ordering Rassilon off of Gallifrey. One by one, the Time Lord soldiers and even [[The General]] joined the Doctor in front of the barn, ultimately [[Coup against Rassilon|overthrowing Rassilon]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')

In an [[alternate timeline]], the [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] allied with Rassilon began rewriting history, following the War Doctor on his path to the barn. He faced them outside the barn ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)|Supremacy of the Cybermen]]'') and once inside, hearing them calling his name, he activated the Moment, destroying the barn and himself. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Prologue: The War Doctor (comic story)|Prologue: The War Doctor]]'')

During the [[Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet]] invasion, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and Rassilon were put into the Cyber-converted [[Eye of Harmony]] to undergo conversion. During the process, Rassilon summoned the Doctor's consciousness in a virtual recreation of the barn, outside the rest of the [[Cyberiad]], to elaborate a plan to stop the invasion.
