Description

Belgrave Hall, built in 1709, is a large house that is now owned by the Corporation and serves as a museum. The building is constructed of brick in a red and blue chequer pattern and has three storeys, with two wings and a narrow recessed centre. Each wing features two windows on the ground and first floors and one window on the second floor. All windows are sashes with glazing bars set in moulded casings, flat brick arches, and sills. The elevation is quite plain, lacking ornamentation except for a narrow moulded stone capping along the parapet. The central recess contains a door framed by a good moulded stone case, topped with a moulded cleft segmental pediment that has a stone urn at its centre. Flanking the doorway are windows, with two on the first floor and one on the second. Notable features include fine contemporary rainwater heads and spouting dated 1709 and 1713, as well as wrought iron railings, gates, and an overthrow in front of the house.

The rear elevation has three gables with moulded coping, a pedimented doorcase, and a one-storey semi-circular bay with railings above, which dates from the 19th century. Inside, the hall boasts excellent panelled rooms, very good fireplaces, and a notable staircase and landing featuring barley-sugar balusters, a moulded handrail, and a panelled dado.

Belgrave Hall, St Peter's Church, the garden walls, stables, and the monument to Edward Holdsworth, along with the gateway and railings to Belgrave Gardens, Belgrave House, and stables on Church Road, as well as Cross Corners on Thurcaston Road, form a significant group.
