Description

Grange Hall and adjoining buildings is a farmhouse that originally served as the grange for Byland Abbey in Yorkshire, established in the 14th century. The structure is built from coursed, squared rubble with quoins and features a parapet that projects on all four sides. The upper works have been altered to accommodate a graduated slate roof, likely from the 17th century. An original stone chimney, which is stepped and corniced, projects from the rear, while a chimney added in the 17th century is located at the west end. The adjoining range at the front replaces the original chimney, and the internal first-floor entry to this range passes under a large two-centred fireplace arch.

A door on the three-storey, four-bay front replaces an earlier window, and a late 19th-century lean-to porch has a late 20th-century plank door. An original newel stair projects from the first-floor level at the north-west corner. There is a damaged panel on the first floor to the left that displays the Bellingham coat of arms. The building features square, mullioned 17th-century two-light windows on all three floors, some of which are blocked. The left side of the second floor has a blocked 14th-century two-light window with trefoiled ogee heads in a square frame, complete with a mullion, hoodmould, and labels. The east wall showcases a 15th-century five-light oriel window with trefoiled semicircular heads, supported on a moulded bracket that terminates in a human head, similar to a head found on the panel in the gable above.

Most of the windows at the rear are from the 19th and 20th centuries, with one single-light window from the 14th century on the second floor. The central projection may have originally housed the entrance with a stair leading to the first floor. The front range is constructed of coursed, squared rubble with quoins and is topped with a graduated slate roof. It consists of two builds, one from the late 18th century and a late 19th-century extension. An outbuilding at the rear was joined to the house in the late 19th century.
