History of Hargrave Hall
Hargrave Road took its name from the Hargrave family who leased the land in the area from the Sons of the Clergy (a charity established in 1655 for the benefit of the clergy of the Church of England). The area was redeveloped several times in the nineteenth century. There are some interesting historical maps available at www.livinginarchway.org.uk.
The building itself dates from the Edwardian period and was known as the Assembly Hall from 1910 and used by a congregation of the Plymouth Brethren. From 1943, it appears that the Brethren ceased to use the hall, which was renamed Hargrave Hall.
Since 1978 Hargrave Hall has been in use as a community centre. In 1988, a registered charity was formed to manage the hall.
Hargrave Hall has been successfully nominated for listing as a Community Asset of Value in March 2014.
