The Grange, Greek Revival mansion in Northington, England
The Grange features white stone columns, a massive Doric portico, and symmetrical architecture that follows classical design principles of Ancient Greek temples.
Built in 1804, architect William Wilkins transformed the structure under Henry Drummond's commission, incorporating elements that mirror the Theseion temple in Athens.
The estate hosts operatic performances through The Grange Festival, continuing a tradition of musical events that began with the establishment of summer festivals in 1998.
Visitors can explore the exterior gardens and monument during public hours, while the main building remains available for private events and special occasions.
During World War II, The Grange served as a meeting location where Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower discussed plans for the Normandy invasion.
