As you get away from the tumult of London you get a chance to hear the sounds and enjoy the sights of
William Blake's   "green and pleasant land"

Grange-over-Sands is a lovely and charming seaside retreat. Once it was a small fishing village nestled between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay,

Because of the Furness Railway the Edwardians flocked here and made it a fashionable seaside resort.

Welcome to my Secret Garden

In May 1941, Grange was bombed as so many were during WW-II.

There is an OAP care home on the site now but in May 1941 Yewbarrow Lodge - the home of Colonel and Mrs Porritt and seven children evacuated from Salford (near Manchester) was set ablaze.

Grange remembers the spirit of those times and the courage of the people of our town.
