Home Farm
'Home' in the sense of being the farm belonging to, and providing for, the estate, Chilton Manor. The manor is now a nursing home so I expect the farm is either run privately or there is a tenant farmer, but production is probably not now linked to the needs of an estate.

Towards Chilton Lake
The lake, or pond, is in the nest square Image It is quite new, indeed it is not shown on my 1999 1:25,000 map. But it seems to be associated with Chilton House, now a nursing home. The surrounding area is all grassland.

Lonely Chimney
This chimney stack and fireplace is beside the footpath near Chilton House. I guess it must have had a building attached to it at some time.

Unusual Pond, Chilton House
Just the place for an ornamental pond, in front of the house overlooking a valley.
But the twin slipways suggest there was some other purpose in designing it this way.
Pure guesswork here, but might it have been for washing animals? You could ride your horse round this to get the mud off his feet after a day in the fields.
Or perhaps His Lordship liked to come out of his house and go for a paddle.

Pond at Chilton House
The pond has an unusual shape. It is clearly artificial but also seems to have a slipway in and a deliberate half-moon shape. Can anyone shed any light on the reason?
