Selwyn Black of Selwyn Black Estate Agents today announced the sale of The Grange, Upper Puckering’s premiere historic home. Believed to have been built in the 16^th century, the house has sheltered some of the nation’s most famous citizens. Bonnie Prince Charlie himself is rumoured to have taken refuge within its walls before fleeing to Scotland during the Civil War. Charles Dickens visited The Grange early in his career, and is said to have been rebuffed by the young mistress of the manor. In this century, Winston Churchill dined here, and years later, John Lennon, a distant cousin of the penultimate owner, had tea in the garden.
