HISTORICAL NOTE: built as part of the development of this area undertaken for Joseph Pitt, the general layout being designed by the architect John Forbes. Military or East India Company officers formed a substantial proportion of the small amount of owners in Pittville who had bought their properties from Pitt rather than a speculator. All the listed buildings in Wellington Square form a good group around a central grassed area. (Blake S: Pittville: 1824 - 1860: Cheltenham: 1988-: 63,65).
