Glorious architectural noodle round Cheltenham in the sunshine, photographing capitals, columns and pilasters (which I hope I’ve correctly identified - please correct me if I’m wrong, architectural historians of the world!).

A slice of Rome in The Cotswolds....
•
📍Neptune Fountain, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1387698
•
More from my (pre-rain) recent visit to my ol’ stomping ground of Regency Cheltenham, this time featuring The Neptune Fountain. Originally built in 1893, and featuring Neptune in his seahorse-borne shell-chariot, the fountain’s evidently inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome (built in 1762). It’s powered by the River Chelt below, and was carved from Portland stone by sculptor Richard Lockwood Boulton and his sons...

Georgian handsomeness in Cheltenham...
•
📍Claremont House, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1387333
•
This glorious house is one of my favourites. Built, overlooking the former pleasure grounds attached to Montpellier Spa, sometime in Regency Cheltenham’s heyday between 1820 and 1834. I just love its finely proportioned neoclassical frontage - gorgeous sashes with their delicate beading, ashlar over brick, batwing fanlight and wrought iron balconies. Of course if wishes were horses beggars would ride as the saying goes! Are you as fond of it as I am?

Neoclassical elegance...
•
📍Queen’s Hotel, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1387698
•
Renowned architectural historian Pevsner described the Queen’s Hotel in Regency Cheltenham as ‘one of the finest early Victorian English Hotels’. it opened in 1838, handsomely overlooking Imperial Gardens on the site of Sherborne Spa, one of Cheltenham’s at one time many spa buildings, and looking down the fine tree-lined Promenade. It was designed in the neoclassical style by architect brothers Robert & Charles Jearrad and modelled on the Temple of Jupiter in Rome, complete with Corinthian pillars, fine stucco frontage, hexastyle pedimented portico, sash windows, and rustication with keystones bearing crowns and the initials VR.

Regency elegance...

Georgian facelift in Tetbury...
•
📍Tetbury, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1341219
•
Here are some shots of the Old Manor House, listed as The Old House, on Long Street in Tetbury. As the plaque testifies, this is a late C16th/early C17th with an C18th Georgian frontage with handsome multi-paned sashes, rusticated quoins, dentil cornice and a portico porch with Ionic columns making it look absolutely stunning. I think that note on the door is specifically asking me to go and live there....pretty sure it is!

‘Field & Folk’ showing...
•
📍The Parabola Theatre & Bayshill House, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1386735
•
Here are some pictures following last weekend’s fabulous showing of ‘Cotswolds: Field & Folk’ to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Cotswolds National Landscape at Cheltenham Ladies College’s wonderful Parabola Theatre.
•
80% of the land in The Cotswolds is made up of agriculture - agriculture that has historically forged the wealth of the region, and indeed the country, and which has helped to shape the landscape, its architecture, its animals and its people. Filmed over a year and a half, this feature-length documentary, accompanied by sublime music by Lawton & Mack, took a look at where the farming sector and the people within it find themselves in 2026, examining the challenges they face and what the future might bring. A huge shoutout to everyone involved in such a splendid project and to Alana Hopkins for her kind invitation to attend, and most importantly a very Happy Birthday to Cotswolds National Landscape on their Diamond Anniversary! 6️⃣, 9️⃣ & 🔟
•
The stunning Parabola Theatre itself sits behind a detached villa, Bayshill House, originally built in 1839-42, probably by Samuel Olney, with glorious fluted Ionic columns 1️⃣, 2️⃣ & 3️⃣, Victorian blind boxes and tripartite sashes 5️⃣, which was adapted and extended in 2009 by Foster Wilson Architects as a theatre for the Cheltenham Ladies College. Bryan Little considers this to be part of, ‘a superb group (of villas) that make Bayshill Road one of the great roads for architecture in all England’! And I for one am inclined to agree...!

A few more shots of a favourite of mine from our brief jaunt round the lovely Tetbury the other day. This delightful detached house on New Street was originally built in C19th with wonderful Cotswolds dripmoulds over the doors and windows, and white wisteria decorating its gorgeous facade! Utterly charming...!

Little Yellow Stunner…
•
📍Market House, Tetbury, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1303914
•
This delightful ochre coloured building is the Market House in Tetbury, originally built in 1655 to replace a medieval structure, it was apparently altered in 1740 and again in 1817, and served as a market, but also as a town hall, a manorial court and a place to lock up petty criminals before a purpose built courthouse and police station were built in the C19th. The alterations in 1817 included enclosing a place for a horse-drawn fire engine (you can see the doors in 4️⃣). The upper storey sits on 3 rows of sturdy Tuscan pillars 7️⃣, and on top, a pair of dolphins, the town’s emblem, decorates the weather vane 6️⃣ which are echoed in the rows of dolphin brackets supporting the wonderfully festooned hanging baskets along the sides. Gorgeous!
