More information : [ST 2273 1983] BARTON GRANGE [G.T.]. (1) Barton Grange represents the remains of the domestic wing of a large 16th c. mansion, probably on the site of a grange of early Md. date, belonging to Taunton Priory. Reconstruction in the 19th c. concealed much of the Tudor work and in 1931 two-thirds of the original house were demolished. A model of the house is at Taunton Museum. (2-3) The remains of the 16th c. mansion, although much altered and recently divided into flats, still retains apparently original features of architectural interest. (See GPs AO/65/194/ 4 and 5). (4) ST 2273 1983 Barton Grange. This surviving wing of the mansion is an imposing three-storey colourwashed building. It is still divided into flats. There are, mostly on the ground floor, a number of impressive stone mullioned windows and carved stone door frames (5)
