HISTORICAL NOTE: originally planned as Bertie Circus, the
houses were constructed to face inwards with the present
garden facades as the main fronts.
The Board of Health Map of 1852 indicates that Nos 15 & 17
Beauchamp Hill was included in that architectural scheme. When
laid out c1825 Clarendon Crescent was known as Back Lane,
however DG Squirhill's Survey of 1838 shows it with its
present name, presumably by which time the scheme for a Circus
had been abandoned.
The original architectural scheme for Nos 1-9 (consecutive)
Clarendon Crescent and Nos 15 & 17 Beauchamp Hill (qv) with
its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear (or
garden) facade.
