Stew Pond, adjacent to bridleway, St Leonards Park Estate, Near Horsham, West Sussex. The original purpose of this pond (and an adjacent pond) is not obvious, but its proximity to the main estate buildings may mean that it was used as water storage or a fish pond to supply the estate. Relatively overgrown and unused these days!
