HISTORICAL NOTE: previously known as 'Easton Grey', in 1939 Pallas House was used by Cheltenham Ladies' College as temporary wartime accommodation, and in 1946 it was purchased by St Mary's College. 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 for Regent's Park (1809-11), London. Noted by Sampsom for retention of its 'particularly rich interior decoration'.
