Issue 1 / 2017 @Home STUNNING VILLAS PITTVILLE CRESCENT Boo Homes have designed and built a pair of brand new 4 storey town houses, inherently modern combining sleek lines, luxury interiors and innovative technologies. Each residence provides a Master Bedroom and Dressing Room Suite, 4 further en-suite bedrooms, a collection of reception rooms and secure off road parking. Situated only minutes away from Cheltenham Racecourse and within easy reach of the town centre, Boo Homes are eager to see this development in Pittville transform one of Cheltenham’s most prestigious crescents to help restore its street scene to the splendour envisaged by Joseph Pitt in the early 1800s. This modern interpretation of his original vision sees a building that is similar in height and scale to its neighbours with outstanding views to Cleeve Hill from the rear of the upper floors. Issue 1 / 2017 4 @Home 5 Issue 1 / 2017 @Home PITT & FORBES INFLUENCE The spa town of Cheltenham had been thriving since the 1720s and was well known for its health benefi ts when Joseph Pitt bought land to the north of the town to build an estate that could rival Cheltenham in the 1780s. Pitt commissioned John Forbes to create a master plan for this new estate in 1820. Pittville is one of Forbes’ most important works. As well as designing several of the houses in the conservation area he also designed the Grade I Listed Pump Room and St Paul’s Church in Cheltenham. The vision for Pittville was to combine building plots with pleasure grounds, trees, an ornamental lake with walks and rides also possible around the estate. Although the layout of the estate had been designed by Forbes, building plots were subsequently bought by developers and these were then developed by local architects, builders and surveyors in accordance with the covenants set out by Pitt. By 1850 there was a new stylistic preference for an Italianate style for suburban development; this was a departure from the Greek revival that Pitt had favoured. By the twentieth century buildings plots were being developed in a piecemeal fashion with diverse architectural styles and designs. Boo Homes have created a modern interpretation of a pair of Villas that Pitt and Forbes would wholeheartedly approve of.

A gathering of more than 50 people heard Neela, a local history expert and a FOLK member, pay tribute to Walter Ballinger and the other Stalwarts, who were imprisoned in 1906 as a result of their action to secure public access to the Hill. The Wheatsheaf was the headquarters for the Stalwarts and so it is fitting that the new plaque will be a permanent reminder of the sacrifice they made so that future generations could continue to enjoy the Hill. The Leckhampton Local History Society organised the event with their members being half of the gathering. FOLK was well represented. Martin Horwood, Leckhampton ward Borough Councillor and a supporter of FOLK was present. The current owner of the Dale Forty Piano company, Colin Crawford attended the unveiling. Colin is not related to Henry Dale, who bought the site in 1894 and was a protagonist in the drama, but he has an interest in the history. Walkers along the Cotswold Way from Hartley Lane will be able to see another plaque dedicated to a Stalwart and more information on the battle for access is available on the FOLK website www.leckhamptonhill.org.uk/site- description/history.

    Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North

    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

Reproduced with the kind permission of the Author MIKE GRINDLEY T'is gone with its thorns and its roses, With the dust of dead ages to mix! Time's charnel forever encloses The year Eighteen Hundred and Six THUS THE LOCAL PRESS i alluded to the 1806 Cheltenham Inclosure Award which allotted ownership of areas of potential building land on the north side of the town, including the piece of orchard that later became the Portland Square development. Numbered 223 under the Award, it bordered the Prestbury Road opposite the SE edge of the future Pittville Estate; to the south were the lands on which the streets of Fairview came to be built. Detail from Merrett’s 1834 map of Cheltenham, showing extent of Portland Square development by then. THE LAND AND ITS OWNERS: 1739 ­ 1824 The earliest mention of land so far seen in Portland Square deeds ii is in the November 1739 Will of Samuel Whithorne Esq., of the ancient Charlton Kings family. On 2 January 1801 his grandson, John Whithorne the younger, sold to William Wills of Cheltenham, gent., for £200 ‘all those three acres and a half of arable land [in four lots] lying dispersedly in and about a field in the parish of Cheltenham called Sandfield, otherwise Prestbury Field, otherwise Whaddon Field’. The tenant was John Peacey, a Charlton Kings plasterer. William Wills was a peruke maker of the then 48 High Street, who died in Spring 1804, leaving all his houses and lands to his widow Penelope, their son William to inherit on her death.
