Downton Farmhouse
A rather splendid, if somewhat rambling, farmhouse just south of Haughmond Hill. The core of the building is likely to be late 16th century, but it's been much extended and altered over the years. Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101267697-downton-farmhouse-upton-magna#.YjxkaefP02w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1267697 in 1985. Comparison with a 2003 photo on the Historic England site suggests that several of the windows have been recently replaced in a much more sympathetic style than the previous version.

Large barn at Downton
The barn isn't listed but the nearby Downton Farmhouse is. Since 2011, there has been a Planning Application (granted) to convert these disused buildings into residential properties, but 12 years later there appears to be little activity.

Near Downton Hall
Country lane between Upton Magna and Uffington. The quiet rural scene belies the fact that both a railway and the A5 trunk road cross the southern edge of this grid square.

Lightning-blasted tree on Haughmond Hill
Apparently this tree was blasted in a thunderstorm. It looks suitably contorted, I must say.
