Description:A view of the main entrance to Barnfields with the monkey puzzle tree towering over it. An improvised jump has been made to help with practice for horse jumping. The photograph was taken from where Barnfields School playing field and the houses on Robinswood, Wildwood are today (2012). The monkey puzzle tree remained as a land mark long after the house, barns and farm buildings were demolished. It was chopped down sometime in the 1990s. Wildwood Community Centre was built on the left of the tree.
The entrance hall and staircase of the Georgian portion of Barnfields was magnificent. A staircase of white stone with a wrought iron banister went round three sides leading up to a gallery at the top. The doors in the house were solid oak as were many of the floors. All the windows had shutters which Mr.Parrott closed every night and opened in the morning. Under the Georgian portion of the house was a huge cellar that in autumn was filled with apples and pears carefully laid out on the stillages. Decorating the walls of the two main rooms were mouldings of cherubs' heads and bunches of grapes all the way round the top. In the old section of Barnfields was a room leading off its own staircase known as St.Patrick's. There were three staircases in the old rambling part of the house. The farmhouse was said to be haunted.
Barnfields School and playing field now occupy (2012) the field in front of the house and the Co-operative Supermarket occupies the site where the house and barns were. Wildwood Community Centre was built to the left of the monkey puzzle tree.
