Lawn Farm Moated Site, Berryhill Fields
Lawn Farm moated site was created in the late 1200's by the Standon family, lords of the manor of Fenton Vivian. The site would have served as a manor house but might also have been used as a hunting lodge for the near-by deer park established by Robert of Standon in the 1280's. Although not their main residence, Lawn Farm would still have been of significant value to the family and a symbol of their social standing.
The Standon's had ceased to own the manor and moated site by the mid 1300's. It eventually passed to a lord who lived far from Lawn Farm and had little interest in the site. It had fallen into disrepair and been abandoned by the early 15th century.
On the site, archaeological excavations have uncovered remains of The Hall, an Oven (or Kiln), Circular Dovecote and a Fish Pond.

Timber Gateway panel by Anthony Hammond
Location: at Berryhill Greenway - at one of the entrances to the park nearest to Uffington Parade
Installed: 2000
Commissioned by: Stoke on Trent City Council
Three gateways were constructed (Stone, timber and metal). The Timber Gateway is the central Gateway and commemorates agriculture and early mining in the area before it became heavily industrialised.
The use of timber was part of the brief, in that it used a material that reflected the level of human development on the site at that time.
The wooden panel consists of six wooden planks supported between two upright wooden poles, with a circular roundel of a bird on the front face at the top. The bird is flanked by a flower and a bird. Below is a butterfly, flanked by a dragonfly and a flower. Beneath is an owl, another bird, and a heron. Below are several animals, including a rabbit, a hedgehog, a lizard and another bird. At the bottom of the panel are two working men, one a farm labourer with a scythe, the other a miner with pick and shovel.
The panel is intended both to commemorate the past history of the site and to celebrate the variety of wildlife found there today.
