Grenade Hall was built in the 1800s by Joseph Lyder Briggs, who gave it to his son Thomas Graham Briggs in 1856. By 1940, the property had deteriorated and was in desperate need of repairs - then Hollywood came calling in 1956. They needed Farley Hill for some of the sequences of the film “Island in the Sun”, so the mansion was given a Hollywood face lift.
