Old barn at Ewhurst
To be found a short distance to the east of Ewhurst church. Rather oddly, it stands in the grounds of the Old Rectory (now a care home), with no other farm buildings nearby. Much of the surrounding area is now residential - 20th century development, for the most part.
I'd guess that (with such huge doors) this was once a threshing barn. The framing seems very regular and symmetrical - apparently all of one build.
I was going to suggest a Victorian date, but have since found a listing: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-291858-barn-in-the-grounds-of-the-old-rectory-e#.Vv3FPyghzo4 My guess would be that most of what can be seen externally dates from the 20th-century restoration.

18th-century headstone, Ewhurst churchyard: David Tidy, yeoman
A good number of 18th-century headstones have survived in this churchyard. This one, dated 1762, stands with other old stones in the south-eastern part of the yard.
To my eye this stone is an unusually fine piece of work. The design is restrained - no mourning angels,no trumpets, no skulls or cross-bones (common in the mid-18th century) - it makes its impact by the use of finely executed lettering alone.
The inscription reads:
IN
MEMORY of
DAVID TIDY Late of this
Parish Yeoman who departed
this Life August the 27th 1762
in the 53d Year of his Age
There is no riot of lettering styles (as became the norm 50 years later): only the words 'Year' and 'Age' are given fancy copper-plate treatment.
