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. A similar Papworth-derived design to Greenfields, No.35 The Park (qv) and Oakley, No.55 The Park (qv). (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 36,92).
