  • Topography and Settlement Jan Broadway & Alex Craven with James Hodsdon
    VCH Glos Cheltenham 1738-1852 – topography Draft 1.0 Topography and Settlement Jan Broadway & Alex Craven with James Hodsdon Spas, Pumprooms and Baths The presence of mineral waters in Cheltenham was first recognised in 1716, reportedly after pigeons were noticed pecking at salts which had formed around a slow spring on Bayshill, then farmland to the south of the High Street.1 The site was acquired by William Mason (d. 1723), a hosier and substantial landowner.2 He had the spring railed in and a little shed erected over it in 1718,3 while a stone-lined well was formed in 1719.4 The first public note of visitors was in August 1720, when the Earl of Chesterfield and his two sons came ‘for the Benefit of the Waters’.5 In 1721 Mason leased the spa premises to Arthur Spencer, a local man, for £61 a year. As well as serving the needs of visitors, the lessee was responsible for bottling the waters for retail elsewhere, and evaporating them for salts.6 William Mason was succeeded by his son Joseph who died in 1727,7 leaving an indebted estate in the hands of incompetent trustees.8 Visitor numbers fell, prompting a town meeting followed by a press announcement in 1731 assuring would-be visitors to the ‘Famous PURGING MINERAL WATER’ of reasonably-priced accommodation and varied facilities.9 In 1732 William Mason's daughter Elizabeth married Henry Skillicorne, a retired Bristol sea captain.10 Skillicorne moved to Cheltenham in the summer of 1738 and began to improve facilities at the Bayshill spa, adding a paved court around the well with a small brick roof standing on four brick arches, a pump in the form of an obelisk on one side of the courtyard and a pair of rooms on the other side.11 He laid out gravel walks through what had hitherto been meadow to improve access, crossing the river Chelt by a wooden footbridge.
