The Grange. This Grade II listed building is believed to date from the 1600s but the main part is Georgian with Victorian additions. From 1922 until his death in 1946 , the secretary of the Pytchley Hunt Capt. Frank Litchfield lived here. King George V and the two Royal Dukes were regular visitors. On one occasion the king left a gift of a brace of pheasants hanging from the door knocker.
