The Burgage House, number 47 The Burgage was formerly known as Hirnant. Built in the late 18th or early 19th century with a 19th century and a 20th century rear extensions. Constructed partly of brick and partly of limestone, rendered and lined to simulate ashlar, all under a slate mansard roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1153292 The village of Prestbury, occupied since Saxon times, is some 1½ miles northeast of the town of Cheltenham, which it once rivalled as a commercial centre. A market was established in 1249, but it declined and the historic village is now merely a suburb of the larger town. The village is home to Prestbury Park, the Cheltenham Racecourse. The village is reputed to be one of the most haunted places in Britain.
