The History of Yew Tree Grange

Yew Tree Grange, is a property with historical significance. The building, along with its attached outbuilding and walls, has been listed as a Grade II building since 1995 due to its architectural and historical importance. The listing recognises the Grange for its special interest, preserving its character as part of England’s cultural heritage.

The property has the characteristics of two styles of building, the centre of the house dating from c.1750 and extended to the left and the right side in c.1870. Its exact date of construction isn't fully documented, but like many buildings in the area, it likely dates back to the 18th or early 19th century, reflecting the architectural style of that period.

Historically, the property was occupied by the estate manager who was responsible for overseeing the extensive grounds and operations of Clifton Hall, the ancestral home of the Clifton family. The estate manager was married to one of the Pilkington daughters of the glass manufacturing family and he played a crucial role in the day-to-day management of Clifton Hall’s gardens, farmland, and other properties, ensuring that the estate functioned smoothly.

This connection to Clifton Hall further emphasises the property's historical significance within the local community. The Grange's association with estate management reflects its status as an important part of Clifton Village’s architectural and social heritage.
