Stephen Road (Jul 94)

Grange Lane and Grange Close were named after the Farm, Grange Lane being one of the last unmettaled roads in the village. The others being Dobbs Drift and part of Oxford Road. Stephen Road was developed in the 1950’s/6O’s by Stephen Knights, a local builder from Dobbs Lane. The site used to be owned by a character named Mr Chace. He ran this land for many years as a smallholding – quite a colourful character with an equally colourful vocabulary!
