St Mary'S Grange

St Mary’s Grange is an early 15th-century house, significantly extended in the late 15th and late 16th centuries, with alterations made in the 18th century. The building is timber-framed and mostly plastered, with some exposed timber framing visible externally. It has red plain tile roofs, and prominent late 16th-century red brick chimneys with octagonal shafts. The house is two storeys and has attics.

The east front has a four-window range with late 16th-century casement windows, most heavily restored. First-floor windows are three-light oriels, supported by four curved and moulded brackets. These casements have a moulded transom and mullion. A modern gabled porch has a red plain tile roof and incorporates a late 15th-century entrance doorway with moulded jambs. The decorative bargeboards are imitation medieval. A front door reuses linenfold panels dating from around 1600.

The south front features a gable at each end, and a hipped roof adjacent to the east gable. The east gable is jettied at the tie beam level, supported by curved, moulded brackets with corbel stops. A first-floor oriel window, with five lights, is present on the east gable. A 19th-century bay window, designed to match the 16th-century work, is located at ground floor level. Corner posts are 19th-century replacements. The remainder of the south front has a five-window range with 16th-century and imitation 16th-century casements. One ground-floor window is a late 16th-century bay window, with a moulded transom and mullions.

The west side comprises an early 15th-century range with 19th-century casements and a three-window range. A hipped dormer is also present. The east side of this range features two late 16th-century door heads and one door. Additional 16th-century windows with moulded transoms and mullions are found at the rear. A modern two-storey extension has been added at the rear.

Internally, a significant amount of the original timber frame is exposed, featuring cambered tie beams, jowled storey posts, along with some 16th-century doors and panelling. The east wing contains 18th-century panelling, doors, and architraves.
