Description:Biddulph Grange was built around 1868-9 for James Bateman. The Biddulph Grange estate remained in the Bateman family until 1872, when it was bought by leading local industrialist, Robert Heath. His son, also Robert, inherited the house in 1893, but during alterations in 1896 a large part of the building was burnt down. A new house was built in 'heavy renaissance baronial style', which takes in the surviving wings of the old building.
In 1923 the Grange became a hospital, and remained so until it was made a Conservation Area in the late 1970s. The National Trust acquired the estate in the early 1980s and began an extensive programme of restoration. Biddulph Grange has since been restored to its former Victorian glory and is a popular visitor destination.
