The Grange was an outbuilding of an early C18th farm known as The Grove. In the C19th improvements included transforming this outbuilding into a cottage called Rose Cottage which was sold in the 1870s. At that time the garden had a croquet lawn and conservatory. In 1962 The Grange was purchased by Willesden Borough Council. Threatened with demolition for a road scheme in 1970, the roundabout was then constructed around the building and in 1975 it was renovated as a local history resource. From 1993 to 2004 it was used as Brent's local community history museum, which had an old well from the original farm in the rear garden, and a nature reserve to the front. In c.2006 The Grange was purchased by ABi Associates, a company providing space and training to local and charitable organisations. -www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.as...
