This shows part of Home Farm, seen from the south. The farm track shown is not a public right of way. The main farmyard was originally enclosed on all four sides. This south side was used for barns, stables and a slaughter house. Remaining structures on this "model farm" are Grade II listed, and date from 1747-1748, with later additions. It has been suggested that William Baker of Audlem (1705-1771) may have been responsible for the design of the farm. https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101278515-home-farm-enville https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstration_farm
