HISTORICAL NOTE: the plot appears to be built upon on Merrett's Map of 1834. By the time George Rowe wrote his Cheltenham Guide in 1845, the High Street comprised shops, boarding houses and hotels. Occupies a prominent corner site and frames one of the entry-ways to the parish Church of St Mary, Church Street (qv). The detailing to the rear of No.202 corresponds to that on the adjacent No.200 High Street (qv). The Art Nouveau detailing is similar to that of No.52 Promenade (qv). (Rowe G: Illustrated Cheltenham Guide 1850: Cheltenham: 1845-1969; Merrett HS: Plan of the Town of Cheltenham: 1834-).
