The town is known for its Regency architecture and is said to be “the most complete regency town in England”. Many of the buildings are listed, including the Cheltenham Synagogue, judged by Nikolaus Pevsner to be one of the architecturally best non-Anglican ecclesiastical buildings in Britain.
Regency architecture encompasses classical buildings built in the United Kingdom during the Regency era in the early 19th century when George IV was Prince Regent, and also to earlier and later buildings following the same style.
There is also a fine art gallery at The Wilson museum, and the Victorian Everyman Theatre has an ornate auditorium. As the most complete Regency town in Britain with a population of just 117,000, Cheltenham is intimate and friendly, a civilised place of culture, learning and discovery.
