DREW’S BARN WARNHAM PARK, HORSHAM RH12 3RP
The brief was to identify an alternative use for a dilapidated, 350-year-old, traditional oak Sussex barn. The barn was dismantled, each structural member assessed, and replacement timbers crafted from green-oak milled from die-back trees within the park. The barn now serves as a second antler museum showcasing the history of the world famous Warnham Park red deer herd.
