1897 – Norney Grange, Shackleford, Surrey

Norney Grange was designed in 1897 by Charles Voysey for the Reverend Leighton Crane. Built in two stages, he extended the main house in 1903 to the western side. From The Building News, “This house is much more extensive than the last, and it is also designed by Mr. Voysey, who says of them both : “They are only intended for 19th- century homes, and have no architectural growth of anatomical interest.” Failing further particulars, we are unable to give the usual information; but, after all, it is the somewhat unusual quaintness of their odd picturesqueness which gives these designs by Mr. Voysey their individuality. This is the residence of the Rev. Leighton Crane. The plans add much to the interest of the plate.”
