GRANGE, a house or farm, not only furnished with necessary places for all manner of husbandry, as stables for horses, stalls for cattle, &c. but where there are granaries and barns for corn, hay-lofts, &c. And by the grant of a grange, such places will pass, without being particularly mentioned.—The word is formed of the Latin grana or granum, grain, corn, &c. Hence also granger, or grangier, a grange-keeper or farmer.
