Notes
[SM D5/1/4] and [SM D5/1/3] show adjacent houses. Each has a front door with a window either side and with a blind window fronting the party wall; No.41, the left-hand (eastern) house has three rooms and a half-turn stair. The combined frontage is 84 feet 8 inches with (left-hand house) a depth of 54 feet 4 inches. Minor alterations are proposed on [SM D5/1/4] including a refacing of the front elevation with small adjustments to the openings.
No.41, with basement, three floors and attics, 'dated from about the end of 1724, when it replaced a house destroyed by fire earlier that year' (Stroud p.193). The ratebooks show the Royal College of Surgeons at No.41 from 1797, Mr William Baldwin having lived there from 1786-96; No.42 was bought in 1803, Mr Robert Jenner having been the previous occupant from 1791. He was preceded by, for example, the Child family (1704-67), the house being rebuilt in, probably, 1703 (Survey of London, St Giles-in-the-fields, Part 1 (Lincoln's Inn Fields), III, 1912, pp.50-3).
