Timber-framed outbuilding at Bailing Hill Farm - with antler trophies Bailing Hill (on the Warnham Park estate) is currently run as a deer farm - hence the antler trophies.  Apart from the smallish trophies fixed to the first-floor frame, notice the huge pair of antlers on the ground at the far end of the building.   <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.warnhampark.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.warnhampark.com/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Mid-18th century tombstone, Warnham churchyard The name is JOHN AGATE (if I've read it correctly) and the date July 1748.  The jawless skull is pretty typical of the rather heartless imagery to be found on 18th century tombstones.
