| Comments | This very sad looking trough was originally on the Great North Road, outside Northam Park. The gift of the Dow Countess of Stafford. £3107.0.0. Following an attempt to steal the trough in 2001, in which it was dropped and broken, it has been moved to within Wrotham Park for safekeeping inside a milking shed. |
