context_page_description: Hillfield Gardens is a public park on London Road, Gloucester, England. It houses several historical monuments.
context_section_description: The King's Board is a small Grade II listed decagonal building. It is made of moulded Ashlar stone with detailed carvings, and a flat composition roof. It has 10 sides, and sits upon a solid stone base. There is an open arcade of five bays on the south side, a solid wall of plain Ashlar on the north side, and three stone steps in a semi-circle which stop against short wing walls on the east and west sides. It was built around the 18th century, in the grounds of Marybone House. Its arcades and architectural details are said to come from a 14th Century Medieval market house in Westgate Street called the King's Board which was demolished in 1780. The building was moved in the mid 19th century to the grounds of Tibberton Court. In 1936, the monument was moved to its current location in Hillfield Gardens.
