Barnhorn Farm

posted by Michelle on 30 Mar 2009 at 10:09 pm

I don't live in the area, but after having a clearout of the loft, I`ve come across a painting that says on the back , it is a view from Barnhorn Farm, Bexhill on sea.

It actually says Barn Horn.
I can't read the artists initials clearly, but it looks like F Lomer.The painting is in oils. If anyone has any info on the farm, I'd appreciated it, as maybe the painting could be reunited with the original family (although i`m not sure when it was painted).
many thanks
Michelle

My mother's parents (Surname Parks) used to live in this farm and my grandfather's brother owned a farm on the other side of the road just near the entrance of what was the military camp. She also had two uncles who lived in one of the semi-detached houses on the opposite side of the road facing the farm. All that is left of the farm is just one wall if I recall from the last time I passed by. Would like to know more about the painting

Barnhorne Manor Farm

Hi,by coincidence I believe I met up with Paul whilst I also was metal detecting on the farmland the other week.

We both have permission from Lady WJA to do so.

I would also be most interested in the history of the land/grounds etc

Another place I would love to gain permission would be Hilltop Farm as I believe there was a Medieval hamlet/ on the hillside overlooking the valley.

If the owner of Hilltop Farm happens to read this would you be willing for a FID registered detectorist (Me) to detect on your land?

Barn Horn Farm

My great grandfather and his wife and 11 children lived in a small cottage which was in ruin for many years on what I believe was Barn horn farm. His name was Parks so I must be related to Derek Polwin above.
My grandmother's name was Mabel and I knew her sisters Annie and Muriel. The footprint of the house which I believe to be the house that my family lived in was in the last few years built upon and became at least one holiday cottage. Please correct me if I am wrong!. One of the Parks family was a game keeper on Pevensey Marshes. Just yesterday I found the grave of Stephen Parks in the Little Common churchyard.

Enquiry About The Farm Owners

Hi I'm wondering if anyone could help us. We are currently looking for a family member of Mrs ward and believe that Mrs Wards grand daughter may have married the person that we are looking for. If anybody could help us to get contact with Mr Alex Ainsley or Mrs Ward we would be extremely grateful.
