Description
1-8 Pelham Crescent, designed by architect Joseph Kay, was built between 1824 and 1828. This long crescent of houses is divided in two by St Mary's in the Castle, which is situated at the center. Each house has four storeys and a basement that is above ground level, with each house being one window wide. The exterior is stuccoed and painted, featuring a parapet. The end houses are adorned with scrolled pediment features and acroteria. The roofs are covered with slate.
The first and second floors have large segmental bowed sash windows, all retaining their glazing bars. The second and third floors feature hooded balconies that have a slight curve, while the third floor has a semi-circular window. The ground floor includes a door and a sash window. All lattice work, railings, and other ironwork are contemporary to the building. This crescent was constructed for Sir Thomas Pelham, the Earl of Chichester.
Nos 1 to 15 (consecutive) and No 14A, along with St Mary's in the Castle and Nos 7, 8, and 9A Pelham Place, form a cohesive group.
