In the novel Death in the Clouds, Little Paddocks in Horbury, Sussex is the home of Venetia Kerr. Not much information is given about the place but it is likely that the property is a neighbour of Horbury Chase, the residence of Lord Horbury. This would explain how Lord Horbury and Venetia Kerr were childhood friends and as children they would go for dancing classes, cubbing and bird nesting together.
