Tudor Grange

A farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century. It is an H-plan house with a cross-passage entrance. The building is two storeys and has attics. It is largely timber-framed and plastered, with some red brick sections. The left-hand cross-wing exhibits high-quality tension-braced close studwork on its exterior, and both cross-wings project at both the first floor and attic levels. The hall range was rebuilt to a greater height in the early 17th century, and alongside the right-hand cross-wing, features good 17th-century brickwork up to a moulded string course at first floor level. The roof is tiled, with lobed bargeboards dating from the 19th century. Large external chimneys made of red brick are visible against both cross-wings. The windows are mostly mullioned and transomed, dating from the 19th century.

The hall contains a 17th-century mullioned and transomed window with fourteen lights made of plastered brick. Two other windows, with four lights each, are present in the parlour. The left-hand cross-wing features several 17th-century wooden windows with ovolo moulding, including a large example at the rear with a transome. There is an early 17th-century, single-storey brick entrance porch with a dentilled eaves course and a plain tiled roof; the elliptical-headed doorway has a hood-mould. The inner cross-passage doorway has a moulded wooden frame and an original framed and battened door. A small 16th-century wing to the rear right, of uncertain original purpose, has been incorporated into the 17th-century work and accommodates a 17th-century staircase, featuring octagonal newels with ball finials and turned balusters. The parlour has a fine 17th-century oak overmantel with three sunk and enriched arcaded panels between fluted pilasters, accompanied by contemporary wainscotting which has been much restored. A similar overmantel, but constructed of pine, can be found in the chamber above. A nether parlour in the left-hand wing has a good 18th-century corner cupboard.

When the 16th-century hall was demolished in the early 17th century, components including moulded elements were reused to construct a two-bay stable and hay-loft, located 20 metres to the west and attached to a contemporary barn. The building was formerly known as Watering Farmhouse until the mid-20th century. It was occupied by the Wingfield family around 1630, who likely carried out the alterations made at that time.
