Barnes Common is made up of mixed broadleaf woodland, scrubland and acid grassland. It is owned by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral, acting through the Church Commissioners and managed by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Old London postcard TUM image id: 1635872753 Licence:	Barn Elms Farm sported majestic elm trees - hence the name. Barn Elms was recorded in 1540 and was formerly the manor house of Barnes. The land and manor belonged to St.Paul’s Cathedral and in 15th century was the home of Sir John Saye, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The manor house was later the home of Elizabethan spymaster Sir Frances Walsingham. The house was rebuilt by Thomas Cartwright in 1694. The farm was just to the north of the house.

Station Road, Barnes (c.1920) Barnes station was opened quite some distance from Barnes itself. The station was opened on 27 July 1846, when the line to Richmond was built. Grade II listed, it was designed by the architect John Thomas Emmett and is the only survivor of four brick-built Tudor Gothic-style stations on the Richmond branch. It is not the station we are looking at here but the Methodist Church at the other end of the road.
