Ladybellegate House, Grade I listed building in Gloucester, England
Ladybellegate House stands on Longsmith Street and displays a three-story structure with an ornate oak staircase and elaborate Rococo plasterwork throughout. The rooms feature fine wall paneling and decorative details that come from different construction periods.
The building was constructed in 1704 for Edward Wagstaffe and underwent extensive remodeling between 1740 and 1743 when Henry Guise of Elmore added paneled walls featuring swan crests. These changes shaped the house's character during the Georgian era.
The house takes its name from a medieval town gate and reflects Gloucester's development over centuries. Visitors can observe the fine interior decoration and understand how prosperous families lived during different periods.
The building is now used as offices and was thoroughly restored in the 1970s. Visitors should check access times and respect its current working purpose.
The house was home to Robert Raikes Junior, founder of the Sunday School movement that brought education to poor children. His residence here from 1757 to 1772 connected this place to an important social reform effort.
