Description:This photograph was taken from Barnfields farmyard showing the church-shaped porch leading to the game larder. The porch was built by I.A. Trigg in 1841 at the northern end of the old stone barn which dated from the sixteenth century and faced the south side of the adjacent main house. Barnfields Farmhouse was built by John Twigg in the late eighteenth-century. Some of the stonework was said to have come from Baswich Church when it was rebuilt in the 1740s. The house was demolished in the 1970s and the site redeveloped to make way for the Wildwood housing estate. Barnfields School and playing field now occupy where there had been a field in front of the house. A Kwik Save supermarket which later became the Co-operative Supermarket was built occupying the site where the house and barns stood and nearby the Wildwood Community Centre was built.
