Agricultural Range to south side of the Framyard at the Grange

The Agricultural Range on the south side of the Framyard at the Grange is a Grade II* listed building that originally served as a monastic grange for the Cistercian Abbey of Basingwerk. Known as Over Grange, it was the upper grange and continued to function as a farm after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536. This structure has its origins in the late medieval period as an open hall and was the main grange house. It may date back to the time when Nicholas Pennant was Abbot from 1529 to 1536, during which he "made a new close in the mountains." Alternatively, the projecting bay at the west end may have been added after the dissolution, along with the later 16th-century stone chimneypiece. At a later stage, a loft was added across the entire building, along with some subsequent alterations.

The building is L-shaped and constructed from rubble, featuring two storeys and a modern corrugated roof. It has three bays on the left side with blocked buttresses at the front and rear. The projecting bay is topped with a crucifix finial and has a loft window above a large Tudor window with three lights, which is now blocked with rubble above the former central transom. The sandstone dressings of the window surround remain, outlining the original opening, which features segmental headed lights with cavetto jambs and straight chamfered mullions, and small-pane glazing that was formerly painted. The original entrance has been blocked, and access is now from the west end.
