In 1898 the third Baron de Ferrieres, a former Mayor and MP for Cheltenham, gave 43 important paintings, mostly from Belgium and the Netherlands, to the town, together with £1000 towards the building of a gallery in which to house them. This was opened in 1899.In 1905 the Schools of Art and Science left the premises they occupied next door to the Art Gallery, and the Museum was opened in these rooms two years later. From that time the collections grew in number and in quality, with the great majority generously given by the people of Cheltenham. In 1975 a branch museum was opened in the birthplace of Gustav Holst, the composer, which was completely furnished from the collections. This became an independent museum in 2000. In 1983 a museum was opened to display the costume collection in...

Thornbury Castle is a castle in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England. It was begun in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. It is not a true castle (designed to serve as a fortress), but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I listed building.The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Only a part of the original plans for a very grand residence were carried out before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII for alleged treason. Following the Duke's demise the Castle was confiscated by King Henry VIII of England, who stayed at the Castle for ten days in 1535 with his queen, Anne Boleyn. Following the English Civil War, the castle fell into disrepair, but w...

Hanbury Hall was built by the eminent chancery lawyer Thomas Vernon in the early 18th century. Thomas was the great grandson of the first Vernon to come to Hanbury, Rev Richard Vernon (1549-1628). Rev Richard and his descendents slowly accumulated land in Hanbury, including the manor, bought by Edward Vernon in 1630, but it was Thomas through his successful legal practice who added most to estates, which amounted to nearly 8,000 acres in his successor Bowater Vernon’s day.Hanbury Hall is thought to stand on the site of the previous mansion, Spernall Hall, and Thomas Vernon first describes himself as ‘of Hanbury Hall’ in 1706, and this and other evidence leads to a likely completion date of about 1706. The date of 1701 above the front door is thought to be a Victorian embellishment, but n...
