The Regency mansion overlooking the river in Eastgate was the lifetime home of Raymond Mays (1899-1980), international racing car driver and designer whose BRM won the World Championship in 1962. The house was built in the late 18th century and acquired in 1856 by the Mays family who founded a successful business in the town as fellmongers and fertiliser manufacturers.
