Wormington Grange is a Grade II* listed country house in the civil parish of Stanton, Gloucestershire, England. It lies a mile south of the village of Wormington. Although the lodge is of Tudor origins, the main house was constructed in the 1770s for Nathaniel Jeffreys. An enlargement occurred in 1826-27 for Josiah Gist by Henry Hakewill. In the 1920s, Sir G. Dawber provided minor alterations for Mrs. Clegg. A. S. G. Butler made other changes in the mid 20th century.[1] The full-height bow windows are attributed to Anthony Keck who was the original architect of outstanding Doric columns reminiscent of the classical Greek Temple on the Ilissus. The later additions by Hakewill included notable pilasters, particularly in a dining-room, built in the new east wing, adjacent a grand entrance hall with ionic columns.[2] The house was later lived in by General Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay, {{postnominals|country=GBR|KG|GCB|CH|DSO|PC|DL}}, who remodelled the north side servants quarters to Butler's design in 1947. Hakewill's stables nearby were neo-classical after Sir Hans Sloane's inspirational style. The Cleggs completely re-designed the gardens to which wrought iron front gates appeared in about 1930.
