GV II
Pair of terrace houses and attached area railings. 1788-9. Stucco over brick and pinkish-brown brick with mansard slate roof and stucco ridge stacks; wrought-iron railings and balconies. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys on basement and with attics, 4 first-floor windows (2:2), extensions to rear, right. Left house projects slightly. Stucco detailing includes rusticated ground floor to left, drawn into voussoirs over openings; ground and first floor windows to right have tooled architraves. Mainly 6/6 sashes, except to ground-floor at right are 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes and 6/9 sashes to first floor, all in plain reveals and with sills. Attics have casements and 3/3 sashes; basements have 3/6 sashes where original. Entrances to left and right: flights of steps to 6-fielded-panel doors with fanlights with radial glazing bars, tooled head to right and keystone. Rear retains 8/8 sashes. INTERIOR: retain original joinery including panelled shutters, 4-panel doors and (to right) a narrow-open-well staircase with stick balusters; otherwise not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: area railings have shaped heads, and some arrowhead, with urn finials to stanchions. Individual first-floor elliptical window boxes have rod and central circle motif, similar to those on Nos 11, 15, 17, 27, 31, 33 and 37 (qqv). HISTORICAL NOTE: Col Riddell (c1800-36), a famous Regency quack doctor, lived at No.16. Cheltenham's famous Dr Jenner lived at No.22 between 1805-22 (since demolished). Originally part of a symmetrical terrace of 4 (2 now destroyed) called St George's Place, they gave their name eventually to the whole street, which was formerly known as Stills Lane. This is the earliest terrace of houses in the street and the earliest terrace in Cheltenham. Stills Lane was the only road connecting the High Street with the Royal Well Spa before the Promenade. (Chatwin A: Cheltenham's Ornamental Ironwork: Cheltenham: 1975-1984: 19).
