Grange Farm
« on: Tuesday 31 May 16 21:33 BST (UK) »
I went to the pub...... THE GRANGE FARM Florence Wragg Way, Oadby
I was interested in the building so thought I'd do some research but can't seem to find anything.

Does anyone know the history of this place. Would love to know who used to live there.
The obvious is that it was a farm house and had stables but I would have thought a farm house would be smaller....this is 3 storeys

Did you start by asking the pub landlord/lady/tenant what they knew of the building?

Search the 1911 for Oadby Grange to see if a farming family lived there.
