The Grove is a post-World War II housing estate. Originally part of the Consett manor[1] with Consett Hall being located near the current Hallgarth area. The estate was probably named after Consett Grove originally located a little south of Selby Lodge in the current Selby Gardens area. The buildings at Consett Grove seem to have been demolished around the early 1960s (no longer appearing on the Ordnance Survey maps).

The Methodist church was built in 1938 (as noted on the foundation stones).
