These days Malvern Road runs all the way from Lansdown Crescent to Gloucester Road but the northern end (north of the church) was originally a separate street called Christ Church Terrace, and was still being marked as such on some maps as late as the 1920s. It comprises mostly terraced housing, much less grand than Malvern Road proper but still very respectable. Like many others in Cheltenham, the terraces originally had their own names, Christchurch Terrace and Christchurch Villas. The names are no longer used but survive on individual houses.
