In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Grange like this:
GRANGE, a chapelry in Crosthwaite parish, Cumberland; in Borrowdale, 4¼ miles S by W of Keswick r. station. Post town, Keswick, under Windermere. The statistics are returned with the parish. The scenery is charming. The monks of Furness laid up at Grange their stores of grain and tithe. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £30. Patron, Miss Heathcote. The church is recent; and there is a dissenting chapel.
