Background

History

The house was built for Cornelius Lander. The date of construction was recorded on a date-stone inscribed 'C1767L' but this is no longer extant. The building had no rear garden, but possessed a garden on the opposite side of the street. The building was sold after 1908 and became the headquarters of the Medico-Chirurgical Society who were resident until 1956. It was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1952. In 1990 it was put up for sale. It was restored by Nicholas Forman Hardy with Gervase Jackson-Stops in 1995. Later converted to office space, the building was sold to a property investor in January 2025.
