Brief Description
Baring Crescent is a spaciously set out group of detached stucco houses dating from around 1820. Until about 1850 the houses stood on their own overlooking the City across the fields. They were built by W. Hooper. The pleasure grounds were laid out at the same time and are still maintained by the residents association.
History
The houses were built between 1818 and 1828. Some were lost during the Blitz, and ten houses now survive.
