Old Grange, Ickleton

Introduction

Features include a drive, meadows and a pond.

The Grange was re-fronted in the 18th century and is surrounded by stables and barns, and reached by a straight drive. Owned by the Wyndham family, who lived at Caldrees Manor in the village, the complex of buildings is centred on a simple geometric setting of lush grazing meadows bounded by old flint walls. In 1803 the garden around the Grange included a large pond and extensive orchard, and little has changed since that date.
History

The Old Grange was built between 1618 and 1685 and nestles at the foot of a hill two miles west of Ickelton village.
