(I'm only saying that, of course, because we've got our own theory along similar lines, about which we'll be elaborating on that presently.)<BR/><BR/>I suspect the original grange was demolished during the dissolution. Certainly Furness Abbey caught the fiscal backhand of Henry the Eighth so I'be very surprised if the grange survived much beyond that.<BR/><BR/>'R.H. W-R. R.T. R.E.' Roast Horse: Wash, Rinse.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new landlords, whoever they are, remain sympathetic to the needs of this old barn.<BR/><BR/>Bella,<BR/><BR/>You're just saying that because it's true.

Over here, the rich and famous have taken to rebuilding old barns into posh households, and usually preserve as much of the structure and history as possible.<BR/><BR/>How they get rid of the pony odor is a mystery, of course, but I guess anything can be done with enough money.<BR/><BR/>Buy the place up... I bet it will be a greaet investment.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JOHN :0)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142977785391302797noreply@blogger.com
