Treasure Hunt

Local history - college road and townshend house. This illustrated story is about some of the houses in College Road, Great Malvern, in Worcestershire and the people that lived there.

The main sources we have used are Worcestershire by Brooks and Pevsner (ref 1), the England Census (ref 2) and the 1884 street map of Great Malvern held in Malvern Library. We had been following the trail of the Victorian 'water cure' doctors in Abbey Road, and then visited College Road to look for 'Townshend House', where Doctor Ralph Barnes Grindrod (1811-1883) practised the 'water cure'. Possibly the road was once named Radnor Road (ref 5) and became College Road when the famous Malvern College Public School opened in 1865 (ref 1), but so far we have not been able to confirm that. Our short perambulation started at Main College and ended at the junction with Priory Road. Main College The photo below shows the cathedral like main building to a design by C F Hansom. The large chapel to the south, circa 1899, (not shown) is by Sir Arthur W Blomfield.
