Grove Place is a Grade I listed building in Nursling, Hampshire. Now converted into retirement apartments, the building was originally a country house and was converted into a lunatic asylum before being developed for its present purpose.
History
The house, an Elizabethan mansion, was built in the mid to late 16th century, probably between 1565 and 1576 with some alterations and restoration taking place towards the end of the 18th century and again in 1895. However this house replaced an older one which was located to the south west of the building that stands today.
By 1850 the house was being used as a lunatic asylum. This was a private asylum owned by a Mrs Middleton and her family, which predated the Hamsphire County Lunatic Asylum. The first patients to be admitted to the latter were twelve patients that had been selected from Grove Place by two justices of the peace; the first six were transferred on 13 December 1852.
As well as private patients, the asylum at Grove Park accepted paupers from poor law unions in the area, but the two groups were treated very differently. In 1844 the 19 private patients were housed in the main house but the 53 resident paupers were located in outbuildings. They were separated into "clean" and "dirty" patients but otherwise little attention was paid to their comfort or rehabilitation.
By 1908 the house was once again a private residence, owned by Mr. Clarence Wilson.
The house was given its Grade I designation on 29 May 1957.
