Walton Grange, destroyed by land-mine on 25 Sept 1940, a ‘Hazells’ pensioner, Mr Ernest Johnson, was killed by this mine (B4).
Walton Grange is a two-storeyed timber and brick house built in the C16th, now almost entirely covered with rough-cast and tile-hanging. The roofs are tiled. The plan was originally L-shaped with the internal angle of the 'L' facing West. In the C19th, a modern wing was added at the East corner, and the main block appears to have been extended towards the SW. On the NW front is a two-storeyed porch, the upper storey supported on turned wooden posts. Part of the upper storey of the main block projects. The North wing has an overhanging upper storey, and in the NE wall is some original timber-framing. The coach house and stable adjoining the SW end of the house were also built in the C16th, and form a rectangular block. The walls are timber-framed, except for the NW side, which is of stone rubble and has four buttresses. The SW end is modern, and the timber-framing of the other walls is much restored, all of the brick filling being modern. The roof is tiled. Condition - Good, much restored and altered (B5).
Walton House is not depicted on the OS 1250 1976. Demolished (B6).
