===Old Erringham Farmstead=== [[File:Stile, Old Erringham - geograph.org.uk - 1072832.jpg|thumb|left|Stile, Old Erringham farm]] Old Erringham Farmstead ({{gbmappingsmall|TQ 205 076}}) has an old flint farmhouse with great chimneys and part-Horsham slab roofing{{Clarification needed|reason=What is this roofing style / material?|date=January 2023}}, and ramshackle old flint barns. It has one of only two remaining medieval manorial chapels on the Brighton Downs (the other at [[Swanborough Manor]]), which now functions as a front garden shed for one of the modern farm workers cottages just to the south of the old farmhouse. It has a tiny ecclesiastical window on its south face. The farm is designated as an [[ancient monument]], incorporating the remains of a medieval settlement and an eleventh century [[ringwork]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|title=Shrunken medieval settlement at Old Erringham, Buckingham, West Sussex|url=https://ancientmonuments.uk/113337-shrunken-medieval-settlement-at-old-erringham-adur-buckingham-ward|access-date=2022-01-08|website=Ancient Monuments UK}}</ref> It was presumably built as a defence against the Vikings{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}}, though it's difficult to pick it out amongst the grassy plats now. It is a mixed farm with corn crops, beef cattle, a bit of livery stabling, and hay meadows. The farm manages the sites of Old Erringham Combe and Anchor Bottom to preserve their natural value. Around the farmstead there is [[red star-thistle]] (a Brighton Downs speciality), [[musk thistle]], [[spear thistle]], [[welted thistle]], [[creeping thistle]], [[teasel]], and [[viper's bugloss]], all adding summer colour.<ref name=":0" /><sup>:204</sup>
