The Grange (Including Attached Tunnels And Garden Arch) In The Grounds Of Ingress Abbey At Tq 592 750

The Grange is a garden folly designed to resemble a gatehouse, built around 1833. It features flint construction with stone dressings and consists of a square structure that rises two or three storeys, topped with octagonal turrets that have lancet windows and a four-centred stone arch. Inside, there is a vaulted undercroft and two chambers on the ground floor. To the west, an L-shaped tunnel connects to storage rooms, which are accessed through two segmental-headed openings. This tunnel is lined with flint and has red header brick corners, a niche likely intended for a lantern, a red brick or cement rendered band, and a round-headed stock brick roof. Additionally, five rectangular chambers have been carved out of the chalk. Attached to the west side is a flint retaining wall that features a flint four-centred arch, approximately 8 feet high, leading to a splayed chamber cut into the hillside, which likely once held a garden seat. The Grange is part of a series of garden buildings located within the grounds of Ingress Abbey.
