Cheltenham Municipal Offices

The Cheltenham Municipal Offices are a municipal facility on The Promenade, Cheltenham, England. The offices, which are the headquarters of Cheltenham Borough Council, are a Grade II* listed building. History The construction of this row of terraced houses on the west side of the Promenade, which was developed by Samuel Harward, began in 1823. The development was designed by George Allen Underwood in the Classical style and was originally known as "Harward's Buildings" when the buildings were completed in 1840. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with 63 bays facing onto the Promenade; the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward, featured a window flanked by two doorways on the ground floor; there were three tall sash windows on the first floor and three smaller sash windows on the second floor with huge Ionic order columns spanning the first and second floors supporting a pediment. David Verey described the row of buildings as "equal to any terrace in Europe". By the mid-19th century most of the buildings were used by professional or business establishments. The photographer, Hugo van Wadenoyen, occupied No. 79 The Promenade in the early 20th century. A lawn known as the Long Garden was established between the buildings and the Promenade. A statue of a soldier with arms reversed commemorating local service personnel who died in the Second Boer War was unveiled by General Sir Ian Hamilton at the northern end of the Long Garden on 17 July 1907. Meanwhile, a statue of the locally-born polar explorer, Edward Wilson, by Captain Robert Scott's widow, Kathleen Scott, was unveiled by the explorer Sir Clements Markham at the southern end of the Long Garden on 9 July 1914. The central seven houses were acquired by Cheltenham Borough Council, for use as its headquarters, in 1916. A war memorial commemorating local service personnel who had died in the First World War was unveiled by Major-General Sir Robert Fanshawe in the middle of the Long Garden, in front of the central section of the building, on 1 October 1921. After the Second World War additional names of people who had died in the service of their country were added to the memorial. A programme of works to restore the memorial, including cleaning of the stonework, repointing and the restoration of the names, was completed in 2016. Works of art in the Municipal Offices include a portrait by Sir Oswald Birley of General Lord Ismay, who was chief of staff to Winston Churchill during the Second World War and who had lived at Wormington Grange near Stanton, Gloucestershire. In 2025, Cheltenham Borough Council announced that it had entered negotiations with a preferred potential buyer of the terrace, the proposal being to be redevelop the buildings as a luxury hotel and spa.

Holy Trinity Church is the parish church in Teigh, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The current building was built in 1782, having been designed by George Richardson for Robert Sherard, 4th Earl of Harborough who was rector. An earlier church dating from the 12th century was removed except for the base of the tower. The pews face one another rather than towards the altar. The pulpit is triple-decked and is combined with the lectern and prayer desk to form an unusual structure at the western end. Over the altar is a c1600 Flemish painting which could be the work of the Otto van Veen school. The ceiling of the church has the Sherard arms and the Sherard crest at either end. Teigh claims to be a Thankful Village which lost no men in the First World War and a tablet near the altar commemorates this. Anthony Jenkinson of the Muscovy Company was buried here in 1611. He had travelled as far as Bukhara when trying to reach Cathay overland from Moscow, and established overland trade routes through Russia to Persia. Notable clergy Richard Folville, a member of the Folville gang of robbers led by his older brother Eustace, was rector here from 1321. In 1340–1 he was besieged in the church and then summarily beheaded in his churchyard. John Torkington was rector of Teigh (and vicar of Stapleford), 1787 – 1815. In 1940, the rector, Henry Stanley Tibbs, was briefly interned under Defence Regulation 18B for his pro-Nazi sympathies. See also St Mary Magdalene's Church, Stapleford References
