There are quite a few mentions of this place in the BNA around 1948-50. They are mainly concerned with the cost of its adaptation as an old peoples’ home (£20,000-£25,000) and, thereafter, advertisements for staff. It appears to have opened in late 1949. Before this there are mentions of a Hygrove House, or Hygrove Manor, in Minsterworth which seems to have been a private residence. There are other references under this name in the 19C and early 20C including some concerning its disposal. No references after 1950. Hygrove is marked in the far top left corner of this map,

There was also a Hampton House School but this was located in Stroud and seems to be unrelated.
