Anthony Feilding sold Mr Grey, of Langley, the house and ten yard land heretofore belonging to Repton Priory… Near this church (St Ann's) are some ruins with no marked features describable. (1)
The prior at Repton had at Sutton Bonington a Grange Farm … known as Repingdon Grange, but called locally "Hobgoblins". A print and description of 1811 - "The entrance is under a lofty pointed arch, over which is a row of blank shields suspended from a moulded cornice by a foliage of rich workmanship; on both sides are buttresses and windows now stopped up. The interior is without decoration and is now used as a barn." This building as shown on the print abutted on the road, but has now (1925) entirely gone, except that there are remains of the walls, quantities of stones and an ivy-clad arch. (2)

A much restored, 2 storied, brick and stone constructed house standing on a stone plinth course. The present owner stated that the fireplace had, originally, been surmounted by a 14c. inscribed stone.
The garden contains a stone wall and arch and the features are heavily overgrown and no architectural detail of the 14c. could be identified, they are however, doubtless associated with the former Grange. The source of the name 'Hobgoblins' was not determined, but is probably derived from local folklore. (3)

No change from survey of 10/01/1961 (4)
