The Grange

The Grange is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Europe.

First built in the 1660s as a Palladian brick mansion it was leased as a hunting lodge with over 400 deer in the park to George Prince of Wales, later The Prince Regent.

It was transformed in the early 19th century into a magnificent neoclassical residence resembling a Greek temple, complete with resplendent Doric portico.

Although the house is no longer lived in it now provides a striking venue for an annual festival of opera.
