Gilbertstone developed as a result of the construction of the now-demolished Gilbertstone House. It was built between 1866 and 1867 for Samuel Thornley, on the site of a small farmhouse. The house had extensive grounds which crossed into the area of Lyndon End and Bickenhill.

Gilbertstone etymology

Legend states that a man named Gilbert lifted an enormous stone to move the boundaries between his and another person’s land so that he could gain more land. The supposed stone, which is an erratic from the Ice Age, is now kept at Blakesley Hall in Yardley.
