HISTORY: Beaulieu Lodge (formerly known as Beaulieu House), probably dates from c1772, though it is not certain who built it. According to George Monkwell, as recorded in his supplement to his essay 'Literature and Literati of Bath' published in 1859, Beaulieu was built for the East India Company Servant, John Zephaniah Holwell (1711-1798), famous for his account of the Black Hole disaster in Fort William in Calcutta in 1756. However, more recently it has been suggested that it was the playwright and satirist Richard Tickell (1751-1793) who built Beaulieu (WF Rae, 2004).
The Tithe Map for Weston (published 1846), names the site as 'Beaulieu and Pleasure Gardens'. In 1885, Beaulieu was purchased by a local traveller and gardener called Alexander Hill Gray, who further improved the gardens, as recorded in 1899 and 1925.
