Description
History

The Grange is a charming Grade II listed property dating back to the 1600s. From 1789 to1794 the house was owned by John Barker Church, one of only two American revolutionaries to sit in the English Parliament, the other being Henry Grager Jr. He was also the brother in law of Hamilton, who is featured in the musical as one of the most influential founding fathers of America. Hamilton and Church were business partners and friends - they had married sisters. Hamilton went on to have a love affair with John Barker Church’s wife Angelica Schuyler. She is featured in the musical and Church is referred to as her - wealthy husband.
