now on English Heritage’s buildings at risk register is the Grade I presbytery which overlooks the north courtyard at the grange and flanks the cloisters of Pugin’s own church. long used by the Benedictine monks as part of their school, this pretty, gabled house built of Kentish flint was put up for sale in 2010, the Landmark Trust felt that it had to intervene, and thanks to a timely legacy was able to purchase it and is about to start a restoration project that will mean that up to four visitors will be able to stay there from sometime in 2015
