 Creech Grange is not to be confused with neighbouring East Creech Manor that was in the possession of Walter Le Franke in 1224 and passed down through his family to Mary Franke in 1637, who married Edmund Hayter (d. 1657), and was sold out of that family in 1770.There are panoramic views from nearby Creech Barrow Hill.Though part of the Purbeck Hills, Creech Barrow stands out, detached.
