HISTORICAL NOTE: William Louis de Normanville, Borough
Engineer and Surveyor of Leamington (1882-1917) lived here.
Originally known 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 (qv) 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 (qqv) and Nos 15 & 17 Beauchamp Hill (qv)
with its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear
(or garden) facade.
