Our 'Roman' Summerhouse
Edwardian Summerhouse built of all sorts of marked Roman stones from the nearby huge 1st/2nd Century Fort of Trimontium

The story is that Mr Roberts, the Edwardian owner of what was Drygrange House took cartloads of stone from the 1st/2nd Century Trimontium Roman Fort nearby and had them built into a summer house.

The inside is still lined with fumed oak, surrounding selected 16th/17th century stones built into the Roman walls, and furnished with two little wrought iron gates.

What may be a Victorian "Folly", is in fact the only surviving built collection of Roman Trimontium stones that one can see above ground today.

Grange Hall Care Home, Our 'Roman' Summerhouse

The three 'pillars' to the front have a Roman Stone 'Basin' or a Roman Drain at waist level,
the niche above the middle 'pillar' is now empty
(it must have held a statue of some sort - but no old photos have yet been found to show it)
The walls are totally made of bits and pieces of
Roman Masonry and Stonework.
(Not something that Historic Scotland would encourage today)

(The large doors fitted are to protect the interior)

Once upon a time, His Lordship would arrive home to his Wonderful Romantic Scottish Baronial Mansion
The Cooks would have his meals freshly cooked from the Best Quality Ingredients.	He knew that his staff were awaiting him, keen to please, and serve his every need.	The Household Staff would serve him at the dinner table or take his meals to his room.
The Housekeeper would have everything spick and span, His clothes would be washed and pressed, ready to wear From Warm Summer Days to the Cosy Winter Nights, Grange Hall has always been a haven of informal relaxed comfort		His bedroom would be clean and a freshly made up bed would ensure a good nights sleep! He would be gently awoken to a freshly prepared breakfast, and look forward to another Glorious Day.
	Looks like nothing has changed for the folk's that live at Grange Hall!!
