Headley Court
The house, in "Jacobethan style", was completed in 1899 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-487900-headley-court-and-attached-former-stable . It's what's inside that is of importance, historically; the building contains much rescued panelling and woodwork from the C17 and C19.
From the listed building description: "Walter Cunliffe, later 1st Baron Cunliffe and the Governor of the Bank of England, was given the original farmhouse estate of some 300 acres in 1880 by his father on the condition that he would make a career in banking rather than become a farmer. The family fortune had been made by Walter's grandfather, James Cunliffe, with his development of the North Eastern Railway on which Stevenson's "Rocket" ran. 1940-45, the house was requisitioned as a Canadian Forces Headquarters. After the war it was purchased by the Trustees of the Royal Air Force Pilots and Crews Fund, raised as a memorial by the Chartered Auctioneers and Estate Agents Institute, and leased to the RAD as a rehabilitation centre".

Headley Court
Headley Court was built in 1899 for the banker Lord Cunliffe, Director and later Governor of the Bank of England. It was designed by Edward Warren. It is grade II listed - see http://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1389265.
It was used in the Second World War as the headquarters for the Canadian army in Europe. After the ware it was purchased by the Institute of Chartered Auctioneers and Estate Agents who 1946 presented the estate to the Royal Air Force to commemorate the Battle of Britain. The RAF used it to provide medical and rehabilitation support to injured aircrew, a role that has since expanded to cover all the services, with significant development of facilities around the original main house.

Horses by Clay Lane, Headley
The copse behind contains a chalk quarry - fossiliferous in 1965, certainly. The field is today fairly rough grazing, but the fence doesn't look so different.
