More about this scene
One of the largest surviving 16th-century houses in the county, this magnificent house was owned by the de la Bere family until around 1831. It was then bought by Lord Ellenborough, the Governor General of India from 1841-44, who built the semi- detached neo-Norman tower on the east side on his return from India.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I worked at the Hotel De La Bere for 21 years, starting as a chambermaid and finishing as the head housekeeper. I had a lovely time working with some wonderful people including bosses and my housekeeping team. The hotel closed down in 2009 for a major refurb and re opened 3 years later as the Ellenbough Park, Cheltenhams first 5 star hotel.
