Lichfield Court
Completed in 1935, 'Lichfield Court' consists of two Grade II Listed (January 27th 2004) purpose built blocks of flats in fine Art Deco style, situated on the site of Lichfield House which was originally built in Queen Anne style. The latter was reputedly designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built for the 1st Earl of Abergavenny and later became the palace for the Bishop of Lichfield. In 1901, it was the home of Miss Braddon, the novelist. The house and grounds were acquired in 1933 by Sir George Broadbridge and redeveloped into the present two blocks of flats.
