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. One of the principal developments influenced by White's and Nash's schemes for Regent's Park, (1809-11) London. An interesting villa design, distinguished by its repetitive rhythm of bowed bays. (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 36,92).
