History
The Haselgrove name is of Anglo-Saxon and is a locational surname thought to have originated pre 7th Century, developed when former inhabitants of a place moved to a new area. It is derived for someone who lived near a Hazel grove or thicket. The modern surname can be also found as Hazelgrove, Hazelgreave or Hesselgrave. The first recorded spelling of the Haselgrove name was Richard de Hasilgref, dated 1297.
Whilst the winery is named after the Haselgrove’s who bear the surname, the origin of the family name dates back to the 1297. The establishment of the surname was derived from a family that settled near a grove of hazel trees. However there is more to the connection of the family name origin and the Hazel tree myths and tales that gives the Haselgrove winery the connection to its beliefs that forms its existence today.
