About the memorial: Art Gallery. The house had formally been the home of Sir William Gray's late sister, Mrs Matthew Gray, and been called "The Willows". It was gifted by Sir William Cresswell Gray, Bart. (1867-1924) on 7 January 1918 as a thank offering for the safe return of his son Captain William Gray. Sir William Gray House is now the headquarters of Hartlepool Cultural Services, which includes the offices of the Museums and Heritage Service, the Arts, Events, and Theatres teams, our Learning Team, and our Volunteer staff. The building was originally built as a private house in the 1850s, and was owned by members of the Pyman and Gray families of shipbuilders and philanthropists, before being donated in 1920 to become the first Museum and Art Gallery in West Hartlepool. Fondly remembered locally as 'The Gray', it was superseded in 1994 when the service expanded and created the new Museum of Hartlepool, and Hartlepool Art Gallery [in the former Christ Church].
