One of the most unusual speculative builders to work in Cheltenham during the early 19th century was the Hon. Katherine Monson (1754-1843), the daughter of a Lincolnshire baron, who built at least 18 houses on the north side of the town between 1805 and 1827, including the imposing St Margaret’s Terrace. This talk traces her career, from prosperous beginnings to her descent into bankruptcy and exile during 1828-9, and provides an insight into the hazardous world of building speculation in the Regency town.
