Stockgrove House
Another large house in the area was Stockgrove House. It is adjacent to Stockgrove Park and just outside the village boundary. It was built in the 1920s on the site of a much older mansion (see Magna Britannia above). This Georgian-style house was built by the industrialist Sir Ferdinand Kroyer-Kielberg. The estate was divided and sold in the 1950s.
Sir Ferdinand was a keen member of the Great Brickhill Cricket Club and 1st XI member. There are many references to him there.
The house for a time became a ‘Special School’ and in the 1990s was divided into luxury apartments.
