The Grange, Northington AL2365_039_01
The Grange, Northington, Hampshire. Albumen print of c.1869 by an unknown photographer. The photographer has artistically used trees to frame the building and the seated figure gives scale to the composition. The Grange had originally been built between 1667 and 1673, but the house was dramatically re-fronted and remodelled by William Wilkins between 1804 and 1809 to resemble a Greek temple. The banker, Alexander Baring, purchased The Grange in 1817, and the family made additions during the 19th century. The estate was occupied by the army in the Second World War, and The Grange was threatened with demolition before being taken into state guardianship

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of The Grange, located in Northington, Hampshire. Taken around 1869 by an anonymous photographer, this albumen print captures the essence of this historic building and its surroundings. The photographer's artistic vision is evident in their use of trees to frame the grandeur of The Grange. This clever composition not only accentuates the architectural splendor but also adds a touch of natural elegance to the scene. To provide scale and perspective, a seated figure can be seen near the building, emphasizing its impressive size. Originally constructed between 1667 and 1673, The Grange underwent a remarkable transformation under William Wilkins' skilled hands from 1804 to 1809. Its new facade was designed to resemble a Greek temple, exuding classical charm and sophistication. In 1817, Alexander Baring, a prominent banker, acquired The Grange and his family continued to enhance it throughout the nineteenth century with additional additions. However, during World War II, the estate fell into military occupation which posed a threat to this architectural gem's existence. Fortunately for history enthusiasts and admirers of exquisite architecture alike, The Grange was ultimately saved from demolition when it came under state guardianship. Preserved as part of England's heritage by Historic England (not affiliated with any commercial entity), this photograph serves as both a visual testament to its enduring allure and an invaluable historical record for future generations.
