Francis Clarke died in 1888 at the age of 46 after developing serious lung and heart problems. George Bainbridge the draper was living there in 1894. In 1918 it became Bracebridge Hall Club for employees of W Foster & Co (click here to read about the club) and in the 1930s and 1940s it was part of Bracebridge Heath (Mental) Hospital.
Later it became the offices of Gothic Electrical and it is now Grosvenor Hall Care Home.
Between the wars Bracebridge Halls extensive grounds were reduced for the building of housing on Brant Road and the “Tree Streets” behind the Hall. Recently the grounds have been further reduced until it stands on land hardly bigger than its footprint.
