One of the earliest remaining buildings in the village is the Grammar House. As its name suggests it was originally built as the village grammar school.
Built on the site of two Medieval Yeoman’s cottages, (traces of which can be seen in the cellars), the property was founded by an endowment from Lady Cartwright in 1660.
The building work was supervised in the 1660’s by Edward Marshall, Master Mason to Charles II, who was engaged in the rebuilding of Park House.
The main school house formed an “L” shape, to the front there were two entrances, one for the Master, the other for the boys. The first floor would have been dormitories and the rear rooms, accommodation for the Master.
After nearly 200 years, the property ceased to be a school and was acquired by Sir Thomas Cartwright in 1894 (son of Sir William Cartwright, Lord of the Manor). Extended and adapted in 1898, it finally became the residence of Lady Maria Cartwright.
In 1930’s Lady Cartwright died and it was in September 1953 that the property was Listed Grade II.
Since then it has been owned by, amongst others, a scientist, who let the property to tenants of celebrity during the 70’s and 80’s as well as being a family home.
The gardens and grounds are important to The Grammar House and provide a fitting back drop to this grand house with beautiful high stone wall with school gate to the front. Pollard Limes trees and yew hedge line the front and lead to the walled garden which is predominately laid to lawn and walled to all sides.
