This delightful former school was built in Gothic Revival, Early Decorated style to complement the adjacent church of the Holy Apostles. Constructed in 1873 with the ugly entrance range added in the 20th century. The building is now occupied by a firm of funeral directors. Other views of the building are at Image and Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1386622 Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
