The terrace now known as Walcot Parade was built as St Swithin's Terrace and Butler's Buildings and dates from circa 1781: its tall fronts and elevated position took advantage of the uninterrupted views over the river at the time towards the undeveloped slopes of Bathwick. The design of the terrace has been credited in the past to Thomas Warr Atwood but the clear variations in elevational treatment suggests that architectural supervision was not strong, and matters of detailed design were left to the builders.
Walcot is an old Saxon place name and means "the dwelling of the foreigners" (the word "wealas" was used by Saxons to denote native Britons and/or the Welsh).
