HISTORY: Northampton Street was built on the pleasure grounds of No.14 Royal Crescent, the property of Charles Hamilton. Purchased by the Pulteney Estate in 1791, surveyed by Thomas Baldwin, but plans by Thomas Chantry in 1795 and John Pinch the Elder (his first major work), in 1799 superseded his. By 1800 there were 17 houses in Northampton Street, and this will have been one of them.
