  • 1 EDITORIAL This Fine Building, Designed by George Underwood In
    Newsletter No. 82 Affiliated to Cheltenham Arts Council July 2015 Registered Charity No. 1056046 http://www.cheltlocalhist.btck.co.uk EDITORIAL This fine building, designed by George Underwood in 1823 as a terrace of private dwellings, has housed the Municipal Offices for 100 years. The Council bought the central block of five houses in 1915, gradually acquiring more until by 1958 it had thirteen. Now, following staffing cuts, some stand empty, and the Council has taken the wise decision to move in a few years’ time to modern premises in Bath Road. It is reassuring to know that the future use of the old building will be resolved before the Council leaves, but what should it be—a hotel to rival the Queen’s? More offices? A row of boutiques? It’s an important decision and sure to give rise to much debate. Kath Boothman 1 July 2015 Cheltenham LHS For CONTENTS please see the back cover. EVENING LECTURE PROGRAMME 2015-16 Meetings start at 7.30 pm in the Council Chamber, Municipal Offices, Promenade Tuesday 15th September: Nick Humnphris—Chedworth Roman Villa The lecture will first cover the pre-Roman and Roman history of the site, tracing the development of the early 2nd century villa into a magnificent 4th century villa, followed by its demise after the end of the Roman era. The speaker will talk about Roman hospitality and the villa’s fine mosaics, and also about the rediscov- ery of the villa in the 19th Century. Finally, current archaeological work on the site will be discussed. Tuesday 20th October: John Loosley—Childhood Employment in Gloucestershire The Victorians were increasingly concerned about the conditions in which children were employed and the lack of education.

  • WILLIAM HILL KNIGHT – Website
    William Hill Knight (1814-1895) – Architect of Cheltenham by Brian Torode (Copyright rests with Richard Barton) William Hill Knight (thanks to Ron Hankey) Before starting on this introduction to William Hill Knight, I must express my sincere thanks to Mike Grindley who has been most industrious in his recording of any reference to Knight during his regular search of the local press archives. He has helped me to place the various buildings in which Knight lived and also brought to my attention various snippets of information which might well have passed me by. My interest in William Hill Knight began in 1987 when I had just started researching the history and development of the Hebrew Community in Cheltenham. The name William Hill Knight occurred frequently in the Community’s archive and reference to the relevant Pevsner edition of The Buildings of England credited him with the building of the Synagogue. 1 Cheltenham Synagogue Who was Knight, from where did he originate, what other buildings did he design in Cheltenham and further afield? What is known about his life and work in this area of the country? These were the questions which immediately sprang to mind. However, the synagogue and the Jewish Community was the focus of my research at that particular time, and I was strict in devoting myself to that alone. It was only about four years ago, when pursuing my research on another architect John Middleton, that Knight’s name reappeared and I started to make random notes about references to him as and when they cropped up.

  • Lecture Notes for a Talk Entitled 'Cheltenham
    Lecture Notes for a Talk entitled ‘Cheltenham Cemetery and its Inhabitants’ by Brian Torode (copyright rests with Richard Barton) (The illustrations will be loaded in due course – editor) (Begin with Betjamin’s ‘Graveyards’) Burials prior to 1864: Everyone used to have right of burial in their own parish- or in other parishes if they could afford a donation! – but Cheltenham’s Parish Churchyard was nearly full by 1830, so 10 acres of land were bought at the lower end of the High Street and laid out 1830-31. The Greek Chapel design was by Charles Paul of Paul & Sons and cost £600. By 1850s this Old Ground was almost at capacity level and a new site was desperately needed. The 1852 Burial Act permitted non-commercial public cemeteries as opposed to Parish (Church) burials, although about seven commercial enterprise public cemeteries had been permitted since 1837 in fact. In Cheltenham, several sites were available or were offered for sale to the Town Commissioners in 1860 including Hesters Way, Hatherley, Leckhampton, a site off the Gloucester Road, and Bouncers Lane. But the most controversial site was that in the Park. ‘How dare they!’ was the response of the elite in that part of the town. ‘Already well-known residents are putting their houses up for sale for fear of the proposals being 1 agreed.’ On the other hand, one of the main objections to Hesters Way and Hatherley was the fact that it would be distressing and not a good advert for the town, to constantly see hearses passing through the town centre as they would inevitably have to do.

  • Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (Copyright Rests with Richard Barton)
    Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (copyright rests with Richard Barton) An exhibition of ecclesiastical and related history to mark the millennium of the County of Gloucester in 2007 These texts for the displays were produced by Brian Torode and together they offer a picture of the story of Christianity in the county during the last thousand years. In many ways these simple and succinct texts offer an overview of many of Brian’s historical interests – Cheltenham history, the Oxford Movement, holy wells, pilgrimage, religious communities, church architecture and liturgy. The BEGINNING OF THE SECOND MILLENNIUM By the beginning of the 800s there were monasteries – mission settlements – at Beckford, Berkeley, Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve, Deerhurst, Twyning, Westbury, Winchcombe, Withington and Yate. 1 Some of these communities owned large amounts of land. Little churches were built near to the centre of population and the clergy from the monasteries served them. It was at about this time that the Diocese of Worcester was formed, and included that part of present day Gloucestershire east of the Rivers Severn and Leadon. West of those rivers was part of the Diocese of Hereford. From 1062-1095 the saintly Bishop Wulfstan was Bishop of Worcester and therefore Bishop too of most of Gloucestershire. During the 1150s and beyond, many churches and chapels were built on monastic lands to serve the hamlets and villages. The gentry too built their own chapels on their lands and expected their servants and tenants to attend it. In return for serving these churches and chapels the monasteries were granted tithes, left property in the wills of the gentry, or given land and property in gratitude for services rendered or as a way of seeking a favour from the Church.

    CHELTENHAM BOROUGH ENGAGING COMMUNITIES PROJECT REPORT PART 2 – CHAPTER 11 TOWN CENTRE January 2017 Report compiled by GRCC, working with West End Partnership CBC Engaging Communities Project Report GRCC January 2017 www.grcc.org.uk 1 Part 2, Chapter 11 - Town Centre Project funded by DCLG Chapter 11: Town Centre Introduction GRCC was commissioned by Cheltenham Borough Council in 2016 to support twelve communities in Cheltenham Borough to consider their aspirations and present these in order to inform the Cheltenham Plan, a planning strategy document being produced by Cheltenham Borough Council during 2016-2017. The Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project builds on previous partnership working between GRCC and Cheltenham Borough communities in 2014-2015 which resulted in evidence gathering and recommendations by communities for designation of Local Green Spaces across Cheltenham Borough. The findings from that Local Green Spaces Study were summarised in a report presented to Cheltenham Borough Council in 2015. The Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project Report is structured in 2 Parts: Part 1 of the report provides an overview across Cheltenham Borough, summarising each community’s approach and drawing out key messages. Part 2 of the report contains 12 separate chapters, each devoted to one community, tracking their approach to the task and drawing out their conclusions, aspirations and priorities. Each chapter contains Appendices which provide fuller detail of a profile produced by the community and outputs from engagement activities they have conducted as part of this project and relevant previous activity. This document forms Chapter 11 of Part 2 of the Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project Report and contains information about Cheltenham Town Centre.

  • Some Cheltenham Buildings – Mainly Designed by John Middleton and William Hill Knight by Brian Torode (Copyright Rests with Richard Barton)
    Some Cheltenham Buildings – mainly designed by John Middleton and William Hill Knight By Brian Torode (copyright rests with Richard Barton) FOR COUNTY HISTORY DAY St John’s Lodge St John’s Lodge is an impressive building, commanding a most prominent position on Tivoli Circus in the Andover Road. The Lodge was built between 1835 and 1845 on land which was up to that time, part of Tivoli Nurseries- a Victorian Garden Centre. The building plot was purchased for £310 and within a short time the impressive house had been let to a Reverend Forster, who from about 1853, accepted as a lodger, on behalf of the Countess of Huntingdon’s Missionary Society, a young African Prince- Prince Caulker. The Prince remained for six years, studying at Cheltenham College, during which time he became blind. By 1864, the house was occupied by a retired Army Officer, the Hon John Curzon, who lived there with his wife, four children and servants. From 1870, St John’s Lodge became the home of Lady Sturt, widow of Charles Sturt the famous Australian explorer, whose son was then living in the Lodge. The Sturts had originally lived in Tivoli Road, later moving to Clarence Square. It was while living there that Her Majesty Queen Victoria honoured Charles with a knighthood, but he died before receiving the accolade. As he was held in such high esteem by Her Majesty, she allowed Charles’ widow to assume the title ‘Lady.’ Lady Sturt died at St John’s Lodge in 1887 aged 85. The property has been a commercial premise for some years but in 2013 it was purchased by Fiona Fullerton who plans to restore it to a family home.
