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 2 acres (8,100 m²) 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), the Ellis family for 76 years, and Thomas Morley for 13 years.
