An eccentric building, the entrance tower is downright weird, with a complicated building history. Grove House was built for A.G. Kurtz, an alkali manufacturer and art collector, probably in the 1830s. In 1870-71 he had it enlarged and commissioned Charles Hermann to carry out the work. It was a decision Kurtz regretted, writing that, "I feel rather sorry that I have had it altered ... everything [Hermann] takes in hand has a look of being overdone." It has been a pub for several years.
