The brief history of The Grove
The area where The Grove Hotel is situated has been inhabited for many centuries. Excavations on the estate in 2002 revealed evidence from all periods of human culture with the archeological findings going as early as the Neolithic era. The first mention of the title ‘Grove’ as ‘La Grava’ goes back to the late 13th century. The manor is mentioned in the 15th century and has been changing owners pretty frequently until it finally became the land of the Villiers family who were granted a title of Earls of Clarendon in 1776. During the 19th century and the life of the 4th Earl of Clarendon, the manor has been frequented by Queen Victoria, her eldest son Edward VII and Lord Palmerston the Prime Minister.
The Grove was sold in 1920s (after the introduction of death duties tax) and served as a home for many organisations including National Institute of Nutrition and College of Dietetics, management training centre for TFL and various types of school such as for the gardening and riding school.
The estate became a hotel in 1996 and has been transformed under the guidance of the architect Jeremy Blake, landscape designer Michael Balston and Kyle Phillips who took care of the golf course.
Since then, The Grove has been frequently chosen as a seat to hold important meetings, and it hosted G20 London summit 2009, 2019 NATO summit, and many others.
