Early 16th century timber-framed house.

Monument description derived from merging EHER 4722, 4723, and 37499. Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: The Grange [NAT]. <1> Present buildings are 17th century, but an earlier occupation on the site is evident. Mentioned in documents of 1529 and 1535. <2> <3> Early 16th century house, timber-framed and plastered. Gabled cross wing at the west end. Two storied, with two original red brick chimneys. Much of the original frame is exposed internally. <4> Tilty Grange, 1/4 miles west of the church, was originally of L-shaped plan, with the wings extending towards the north-west and north-east. The additions at the back are modern. The original central chimney-stack has diagonal pilasters and is modern at the top. The original chimney-stack of the back wing has a shaft, cross-shaped on plan, set diagonally. Immediately outside the fence of the front garden is a square chamfered base of stone and another, now inverted, of half-quatrefoil plan; they probably came from the abbey. Condition - One chimney-stack is out of the perpendicular. <5> See: <6>
