Cartwright Gardens

[1] The development attracted many professional and middle-class occupants although the character of the area changed towards the end of the 19th century with an increasing number of lodging houses occupying the buildings.

[2] A bronze statue by George Clarke was added to the garden in 1831 which is set on a granite plinth that has details of Cartwright's works as a reformer.

The garden is enclosed by iron railings, with mature plane trees, laid out with grass and circular walks.

In December 1878, elderly widow Rachel Samuel was found dead in her kitchen at 4 Burton Crescent.

In The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope, Burton Crescent is home to the character John Eames.
