Portland Chapel, in North Place, was the first nonconformist Gothic Revival building erected in Cheltenham. Built in 1816 of ashlar over brick with a slate roof. The portico was added in 1865 and may have come from another chapel. It ceased to be a chapel in the late 20th century and since has been used as a gymnasium and as a spa. Listed, grade II, with details at: LinkExternal link
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.
