SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: area railings have fleur-de-lys finials.
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 and 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 and 17 Beauchamp Hill (qv)
with its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear
(or garden) facade.
