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.

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.
