History The Tudors was part of two houses formerly known as Newbie House and Holyrood House, joined by a bridge. Formerly the water cure establishment of Dr Gully, who bought Newbie House for men and built Holyrood House for women and joined them by a 'Bridge of Sighs', circa Gothic styles. Dr Gully, famed as one of the most imminent hydropathic doctors in Malvern in the midnineteenth century. It is interesting to note that Dr Gully was the first chairman of the local Board, which was grappling with dire water shortages as the town expanded. Having his own water supplies it was in Dr Gully's commercial interest to prevent competitive doctors having prolific supplies for hydrotherapy. When Dr Gully left Malvern in 1872, Tudor House was a successful and busy Boarding House. After Dr Gully's death in 1883 the property passed to his son, William Court Gully. Tudor House was leased from 1876 in the "lease for life policy" to Elijah Finn, who ran it as successful Boarding House. Finn was eminently successful; he had 60 to 80 people on his visitor list all year round. He died in July 1886 and in the following August the property was bought by the Misses Brown. That year, 1887, was the year of Malvern's first drought; the reservoirs were empty, the springs dry, and the water as precious as gold. The local board located all prolific private sources and, with the owner s permission, pumped water into the mains. In October they installed pipes, and a gas engine to the Tudor Baths spring and pumped gallons daily. Features Of The Building The left-hand, plainer building is rendered.
