The Grange

The Grange is a house dating from the 14th and 16th centuries, with early 20th-century extensions. It has two storeys and is primarily timber-framed, with exposed timbers on most of the exterior. A small jettied wing extends forward from the main range, featuring brick nogging on the ground floor. The walls of the main range to the west of this wing are rendered and lined. The front roofs are thatched, while the rear is covered with clay pantiles. There are two internal chimney stacks with large plain red brick shafts, and various casement windows with diamond leaded panes.

The core of the house is a 14th-century reinstated two-bay open hall that includes a crown-post roof. At the lower end of the hall, there are two service doorways with continuous pointed arches, and at the upper end, a chimney stack has been added, featuring a timber lintel with folded-leaf carving and a merchant's mark in the center. Each side wall of the hall retains the remains of six-light diamond-mullioned windows. The crown-post, which is braced in four directions at the head, has a simple cross form and broach stops at the base.

An inserted ceiling in the hall, which had an ogee-and roll-moulded beam and joists, was removed in the early 20th century and reused in one of the two wings added to the back of the house. To the east of the hall, a two-bay 16th-century parlour block was constructed alongside the chimney stack. The heads of the main posts in this block are carved with emblems of the Passion, including the Sacred Heart, crown of thorns, nails, hammer, and pincers, some of which are mutilated. The original service rooms were replaced in the early 17th century by an enlarged range, likely designed as a kitchen, which includes a chimney stack on the side wall. The small jettied wing, added in the early 16th century, features a main beam with ogee-and roll-mouldings and curved stops.
