History, Heritage & Tours of the Town

Cheltenham is the Most Complete Regency Town in the UK, which means any casual stroller around the Town cannot fail to spot signs of our history! Yet our gorgeously preserved Regency exteriors are not the only History and Heritage on offer in the Town.

For details about Cheltenham's Regency Past, use our history page; meanwhile for information on the architecture, go here. The oldest building in Cheltenham is St Mary's Minster, and Cheltenham is also famous for Explorer Edward Wilson, and composer Gustav Holst. Our History section uncovers a lot of what Cheltenham has to offer, and keep your eyes peeled for a new section on our many and varied blue plaques in the town.

A great way to explore and understand the town is through our Heritage Open Days which take place in September, plus taking advantage of any one of the events listed below.

Enjoy!
