HISTORICAL NOTE: General Sir James Grant (1808-75) lived at Park Lawn. 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. This is one of the principal developments influenced by White's and Nash's schemes for Regent's Park (1809-11), London. A very distinguished villa design. (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 36,92; Merrett HS: Plan of the Town of Cheltenham: 1834-; Girouard M: The English Town: 1990-: 270-271).
