The Grange, Northington, Hampshire, c1860s. Albumen print. 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.
