Belgrave Hall is a Queen Anne-style Grade II
* listed building on the northern edge of the city, used as a Leicester Museum. It was built as a family home for Edmund and Ann Cradock in 1709 in the midst of of walled gardens in Belgrave, Leicester. After only 2 years its completion, both had died, and it was then owned by the Simons family for 45 years, the Vann family for 78 years, (during which time they also built the nearby Belgrave House〔'Parishes added since 1892: Belgrave', A History of the County of Leicester: volume 4: The City of Leicester (1958), pp. 420-428. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66590 Date accessed: 4 July 2014〕), the Ellis family for 76 years, and Thomas Morley for 13 years. In 1936 it was bought by Leicester City Council, and has been a museum ever since.
==Construction==
Belgrave Hall was built as a substantial family home between 1709 and 1713 by Edmund Cradock, a Leicester hosiery merchant, on a site adjacent to Belgrave Church. At the time Belgrave was a small village three miles from Leicester, between the roads to Loughborough and Lincoln, and Belgrave Hall set a trend for wealthy businessmen to build themselves out-of-town houses in the area.〔 The house, fronting onto Church Road, is a three-storeybuilt in an unadorned classical style, from blue and red bricks, laid in Flemish bond, creating a chequered pattern. There are lead rainwater heads with the Cradock family crest, some of which have a 1709 date and others with 1713. This unusually long construction period, along with brickwork and ground-plan irregularities on the south side, may imply a re-design or halt to construction while building was underway. The road frontage has imposing wrought iron gates to a recessed doorway, and a brick parapet which hides the three hipped gables of the roof, creating a very rectangular facade. Edmund Cradock (cousin of Edmund Cradock of Knighton, and nephew of Henry Hastings of Belgrave Old Hall〔(see link to Belgrave Hall Information Sheet ), Story of Leicester, Leicester City Council, 2012, p.4〕) and his wife Ann, both died shortly after the house was completed. Initially the Hall was held in trust for their children, but was sold in 1721 to John and Helen Simons.〔
