Reginald Beauchamp Downall (26 July 1843 - 11 December 1888) was a British plantation owner and member of the Legislative Council of Ceylon. Reginald Beauchamp Downall was born in 1843 in Kidderminster, the only son of Rev. John Downall (1803-1872), vicar of Okehampton, and Katherine Pyndar née Turner (1812-?). He attended Marlborough College in Wiltshire (1854–56). In 1874 Downall purchased Barnes Hall and operated it as a small guest house/hotel. In 1892 it was sold to the Nuwara Eliya Hotels Company Limited, who renovated and expanded the building into what is now known as the Grand Hotel.
