Rowbarns Grange

This appears to have once been a barn lying beside the roadway, belonging to the old farm which stood on the site of Rowbarns Manor. It was converted into two cottages by Lord Lovelace and was eventually made into one house. In 1891 this was the home of Major Herbert Jenkins, one of Lovelace’s stepsons.

The "new" barn

A new barn was built behind it but by 1920 this had been converted into a billiard room and concert room.
