Abstract: |
A desktop study was undertaken to examine the history of Grove House, now Bristol Cancer Help Centre. It was built by Ann Hibbs, widow, in the 18th century probably in the period 1757-64. No illustrations or detailed maps survived from before the 1820's, but those that do were consistent in what they recorded. A small extension was added in 1910 when the house was still a private residence which it remained until taken over by St. Joseph's Academy and La Retraite in quick succession in the early 1920s. An eastern extension was made to the house in 1937, by now the convent part of the Roman Catholic Girl's secondary school. Minor alterations were made in the 1940s; some damage was received by the roof in the Blitz. Major additions were made in the early 1960s with a north eastern extension and the raising of the roof by one storey. The southern grounds were altered as the result of the collapse of the tall retaining wall in 1966. Due to reorganisation of Roman Catholic secondary education, the school shut in 1982. [Au(adp)] |
