Editing Monastic grange (section)

==Description==
Granges were landed estates used for food production, centred on a farm and out-buildings and possibly a mill or a [[tithe barn]].  The word ''grange'' comes through French {{lang|fr|graunge}} from Latin {{lang|la|granica}}, meaning a granary.<ref name="OED"/> The granges might be located at some distance. They could farm livestock or produce crops. Specialist crops might include apples, [[hops]] or grapes to make beverages. Some granges had fish-ponds to supply Friday meals to the monastery. The produce could sustain the monks or be sold for profit. While under monastic control, granges might be run by a steward and worked by local farm labourers or perhaps [[lay brother]]s.
