James Gray: This old nineteenth century barn, part of Place Farm, Patcham stood in semi-isolation for many years with only a nearby dew pond for company. However when the Ladies Mile estate developed, started in the early 1930s, the housing tide gradually crept nearer to, but stopped short of, the barn and other farm buildings.
