HISTORICAL NOTE: The Park had been laid out by 1833 by its owner Thomas Billings as an oval tree-lined drive with a central park which for a short period in the mid-C19 became a zoological garden. In 1839 the development was bought by Samuel Daukes who continued the building. This is one of the principal developments influenced by White's and Nash's schemes for Regent's Park in London (1809-11). (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 36,92; Girouard M: The English Town: 1990-: 270-271).
