Myddelton Square

All are constructed in a Georgian style of "yellow" stock brick (often now slightly darkened) in Flemish bond and a white banded, stuccoed, to resemble stone-built, ground floor,[1] and save for those stated as replacements, from 1822 to 1843.

[2] All of the houses are Grade II listed, as is the church (protected and recognised in the initial, mainstream statutory category).

[1] The square is named after Sir Hugh Myddelton (1560–1631), the founder of the New River Company, whose family sold the land on which it was built, drawing a profit by way of overseeing and granting building leases, meaning the upmarket builders shouldered the risk, when built up in later years.

The dramatist, actor and theatre manager, Thomas John Dibdin (1771–1841) was one of the first residents, at № 7 in 1826-27.

[4] A BBC adaptation of Howards End, by EM Forster, in 2017, used a house as the London home of the central Schlegel family (suggestive of fictional "Wickham Place").
