Unfortunately burglars have destroyed three of these by breaking away
all the sculptured portions, and have mutilated the fourth by the
removal of its central panel. This last is situated in the front room on
the first floor, and is shown on Plate 102. It is of large size, and has
three-quarter attached Ionic columns, mottled buff coloured marble
surrounds, and inlaid flutings in the frieze, and when complete it would
appear to have been an excellent example of the period.
The ceiling in the same room (Plate 103) is in ornamental plaster work,
with small plaques.
CONDITION OF REPAIR.
The premises are in good repair.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
The occupiers of this house, according to the ratebooks, were:—

XC.—NO. 50, BEDFORD SQUARE.
GROUND LANDLORD.
His Grace the Duke of Bedford, K.G.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND DATE OF STRUCTURE.
On 16th January, 1777, a lease[763] was granted of the fourth house
westward from Charlotte Street, on the south side of the square. This
was No. 50.
The premises are a good example of the general planning of houses on
this side of the square. The fanlight (Plate 104) to the screen between
the vestibule and hall is characteristic of others in this district. The
staircase is of stone with mahogany handrail and wrought-iron balustrade
of coupled bars, alternating with one of scroll design, as has been
described in other cases. The end of the staircase is semi-circular in
plan. The ceiling is of ornamental plaster work, pierced by a large oval
lantern. The front room on the first floor has a good decorative
ceiling.
The rear room on the same floor has an ornamental ceiling with designs
in the angles of the central portion, representing drama, painting,
music, and agriculture.
CONDITION OF REPAIR.
The premises are in good repair.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
The first occupier of the house, according to the ratebooks, was
“Mr. Serjt. Glynn,” who was resident here in 1778. John Glynn was
born in Cornwall in 1722. He entered the legal profession and was
called to the Bar in 1748. In 1763 he was created serjeant-at-law,
and the following year Recorder of Exeter. He enjoyed a great
reputation for legal knowledge, which he placed, in many cases
gratuitously, at the disposal of the adherents of Wilkes, in the
legal proceedings connected with the latter’s agitation. In 1768,
and again in 1774, he was elected as one of the representatives of
Middlesex in Parliament. In 1772 he was elected Recorder of the
City of London. He died in 1779.
In 1779 William Lushington was at No. 50, Bedford Square, and
remained until 1781, when he was succeeded by John Hunter, whose
tenancy lasted over the end of the century.

XCI.—NO. 51, BEDFORD SQUARE.[765]
GROUND LANDLORD AND LESSEE.
Ground landlord, His Grace the Duke of Bedford, K.G.; lessee, the French
Consulate-General.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND DATE OF STRUCTURE.
On 16th January, 1777, a lease[766] was granted of the third house
westward from Charlotte Street, thus corresponding to No. 51.
In the vestibule of this house is fitted a small chimneypiece with a
sculptured marble panel.
[Illustration]
The staircase is similar to that of No. 50, and the friezes beneath the
ceilings have moulded plaster designs.
The front room on the ground floor has a white marble chimneypiece with
Ionic pilasters, the rear room on the same floor having one of simpler
design in the same material. The chimneypiece of the front room on the
first floor is also simply treated in white marble, with three-quarter
Ionic columns. The ceiling (Plate 105) is decorated in moulded plaster
work of good design.
The rear room on the same floor has a white marble and green inlay
chimneypiece and a decorative plaster ceiling.
CONDITION OF REPAIR.
The premises are in good repair.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
In 1778 John Boldero was in occupation of the premises. His name
appears in the ratebooks until 1791, when it is replaced by that
of Mrs. Boldero.

XCII.–XCIII.—NOS. 68 AND 84, GOWER STREET.
GROUND LANDLORD AND LESSEES.
Ground landlord, His Grace the Duke of Bedford, K.G. The lessee of No.
68 is Miss Janet McKerrow.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND DATE OF STRUCTURE.
Gower Street was formed at the same time as Bedford Square, and many of
the houses on the west side as well as some on the east still present
their original fronts.
No. 68, Gower Street, is provided with a bold and simple wood door case
(Plate 106) of excellent proportions, with Roman unfluted Doric columns
and ornamental fanlight. It is a very good example of late 18th-century
design.
The door case (Plate 106) to No. 84, Gower Street, was of simple and
tasteful design, well adapted for its purpose, and typical of many
others in the neighbourhood.
CONDITION OF REPAIR.
No. 68, Gower Street, is in good repair.
No. 84 was demolished in 1907.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
The occupants of these two houses during the 18th century were,
according to the ratebooks:
_No. 68._ _No. 84._
1787–93. Thos. Gatteker. 1789–1800. Sir John Scott.
1794–97. T. C. Porter.
1797– Mrs. Peters.

XCIV.—NORTH AND SOUTH CRESCENTS AND ALFRED PLACE (DEMOLISHED).
The sites of North and South Crescents and Alfred Place, together with
the corresponding portion of the east side of Tottenham Court Road,
belong to the City of London Corporation, and form a part of the
property of which some of the proceeds are by the Act 4 and 5 William
IV., cap. 35 (private), devoted to the upkeep of the City of London
School.
For many years before the passing of the Act an annual sum of £19 10s.
had been paid by the Corporation, out of the rents of certain lands
usually called the estates of John Carpenter, towards the education and
clothing of four boys. These estates were popularly identified with
certain properties in Thames Street, Bridge Street, Westcheap and
Houndsditch, and the North and South Crescents area in St.
Giles-in-the-Fields. Unfortunately, no direct connection can be traced
between the last mentioned property and John Carpenter, who died about
1441.
It seems probable, however, that this part of the City estates had a
different origin.
In 1567 Lord and Lady Mountjoy sold to Sir Nicholas Bacon the tithes of
two closes in Bloomsbury, known as the Great Close of Bloomsbury,
containing 45 acres, and Wilkinson’s Close, containing 4 acres, together
with a third close, having an area of 5 acres, and being then or lately
in the tenure of John Hunt.[769] The tithes are mentioned in the account
of the division of the property of St. Giles’s Hospital[770] as falling
to the share of Katherine Legh (afterwards Lady Mountjoy), but no
reference occurs to the third close, which nevertheless was most
probably obtained at the same time. In 1574 an exchange of land was
effected between Sir Nicholas Bacon and Sir Rowland Hayward and other
City dignitaries, whereby the latter acquired the five-acre close in
question.[771] The deed relating to the exchange does not appear to have
been enrolled, and consequently no particulars are available as to the
property which was transferred to Sir Nicholas Bacon.
The earliest record in the possession of the Corporation relating to the
estate in St. Giles is contained in a rental of 1667,[772] “The Rentall
of the Lands and Tenements, sometimes of Mr. John Carpenter, sometimes
Town Clarke of the Citty of London,” and is as follows: “Margaret the
Relict and Executrix of Richard Reede, late Margaret Pennell, for a
Close with the appurtenances cont. by estimacon five acres, more or
lease, and being in the Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields to him demised
for 61 years from Lady-day, 1652, at £4.” Two other properties included
in the rental are described as having been taken by the Corporation in
exchange from Sir Nicholas Bacon, but it is unfortunate that no such
statement is made with regard to the 5–acre close, as such would have
prevented any doubt as to its identification. Nevertheless, scarcely any
doubt is possible. The rental of 1667 shows that the John Carpenter
estate included property acquired by way of exchange from Bacon, and the
presumption of the identity of the 5–acre close contained in that
exchange with the 5–acre close leased to Richard Reede in 1652 is
practically overwhelming. Moreover, it is difficult to see with what
other land the close could possibly be identified. It is quite certain
that it was not in that part of the parish of St. Giles which lay to the
south of Bloomsbury Manor, for there was in that direction no 5–acre
field, of which the history, as detailed in this volume, does not
preclude the possibility of its being identified with the close in
question. It is moreover fairly obvious that the close could not have
been actually included in the Manor of Bloomsbury, since it was in the
hands of Mountjoy.
We are thus almost bound to identify the latter with the North and South
Crescents estate, which, with one exception (Cantelowe Close), is the
only St. Giles property in the neighbourhood not in the manor of
Bloomsbury.
It may, therefore, be assumed that the connection of the land with the
Carpenter Estate only dates from 1574, and that it was obtained by the
trustees of that estate in exchange for other property.
The land remained unbuilt on until the estate was laid out early in the
19th century. Although the houses were of no architectural merit, the
plan is by no means uninteresting. It consists of Alfred Place running
parallel with Tottenham Court Road, with a connecting cross road at
either end, crescents being formed in these opposite the north and south
ends of Alfred Place.
It is probable that George Dance, the younger, who was City Architect at
the time, modified his idea for the improvement of the Port of London in
the preparation of this design.[773] The former scheme is embodied in a
coloured engraving[774] by William Daniell, published in 1802.[775]
All the houses have recently been demolished.

XCV.—HOUSE IN REAR OF NO. 196, TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD.
The land immediately to the north of the City estate was formerly a
field known as Cantelowe Close. In an inquisition held on 20th May,
1639,[776] it was found that John, Earl of Clare,[777] had died in
possession of, _inter alia_, a parcel of land in the parish of St.
Giles, called “Cantlowe Close,” containing seven acres.[778] The land
seems to have continued in the Holles family until the death of John
Holles, Duke of Newcastle, in 1711, and then to have passed with most of
the latter’s possessions to his nephew, Thomas Pelham-Holles, afterwards
(1715) Duke of Newcastle, for the plan of the new road from Paddington
to Islington which appeared in the _London Magazine_ for 1756 marked the
field to the north of “The City Lands” as the “Duke of Newcastle’s.” In
1772 the Duke of Newcastle sold to the Duchess of Bedford and others,
trustees for the late Duke, “all that close or parcell of ground,
scituate in the parish of St. Pancras,[779] commonly called ...
Cantelowe Close, containing nine acres and a half or thereabouts.”[780]
In 1776 the trustees granted to William Mace, carpenter, a lease for 78
years of a portion of the ground “in consideration of the great expense
he hath been at in erecting a farmhouse on part of a field known as
Cantelowe Close, and that he, the said William Mace, shall build proper
and convenient sheds and other outhouses for the accommodation of 40
cows at the least.”[781] It is therefore clear that the house was built
in or shortly before 1776.
It stood about 150 feet east of Tottenham Court Road. The exterior
(Plate 107) was of stock brickwork, with red brick window heads. The
entrance doorcase was of wood, and above were two tablets showing that
formerly the parish boundary between St. Giles and St. Pancras passed
through the house.
The interior had a decorated wood and composition chimneypiece (Plate
107) in the north front room on the first floor.
The premises were demolished in 1914.
