St George's Fields in Bayswater, London. The ziggurat style of building similar to Patrick Hodgkinson's Brunswick is clearly seen.
The architects, Design 5, used a ziggurat style of building (similar to the Brunswick by Patrick Hodgkinson), retaining much of the open space whilst creating 300 dwellings. Parts of the double walls surrounding the burial ground - reputedly designed to frustrate grave robbers - have been preserved along with a number of tombstones.
The burial ground was also used for years as an archery ground, hence the nearby Archery Close and one of the new buildings being called Archery Steps.
The estate is now in private ownership[1] although the grounds of St George's Fields are opened to the public once a year under the London Garden Square Scheme[2] when one of London's oldest plane trees, with a girth of over 18 ft (5.5 m), may be seen set amongst the other trees.
Although the buildings on the estate are not listed they have been included within the Bayswater Road Conservation Area established by the City of Westminster to preserve the amenities of this historic area.
