Belgrave Hall

Belgrave Hall is a Queen Anne-style Grade II* listed country house in Leicestershire, on the northern edge of the cityscape of Leicester. Once a prosperous merchant's country residence, it is today used as a museum, owned by the city council.

Belgrave Hall was built as a family home for Edmund and Ann Cradock in 1709, within two acres of walled gardens in Belgrave. Later it was owned by a series of families until bought in 1936 by the city corporation for a museum. (Read more)
