HISTORICAL NOTE: the plot appears to be built upon on
Merrett's Map of 1834. By the time George Rowe wrote his
Cheltenham Guide in 1845, the High Street comprised shops,
boarding houses and hotels.
Occupies a prominent corner site and frames one of the
entry-ways to the parish Church of St Mary, Church Street
(qv). The detailing to the rear of No.202 corresponds to that
on the adjacent No.200 High Street (qv). The Art Nouveau
detailing is similar to that of No.52 Promenade (qv).
