In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Grovebury like this:
GROVEBURY, a manor in Leighton Buzzard parish, Beds. It was given by Henry II. to the nuns of Fontevralt in Normandy; became the site of an alien convent; and passed to the dean and canons of Windsor.
Grovebury is now part of CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Grovebury itself, go to Statistics.
