Summary:none
THE OLD GRANGE
Nobody knew it's age, or who built and named it, but the Old Grange had stood by Hobbiton Road for as long as anyone could remember. Possibly built as a farm or inn, its blank square window and doorways, clearly declared its 'big folk' heritage.
Tradition said it was haunted, so nobody dared knock it down and children gave it a wide berth. Parents said it was because the remaining walls were unsafe, but in truth, the sharp angled ruins were a little disquieting even to them.
Tumbled stone was left to the shrouding ravages of ivy, nettle and briar.
END
