Marlborough Buildings
Built by Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, in 1736, who was born in St Albans and whose family were major landowners there. They consist of a central block (seen here) including a bay topped by a pediment bearing the Marlborough arms. At either end of this block are two similar wings, with the whole set of buildings enclosing a mainly grass courtyard. There are 36 flats in all, in nine blocks of four.
Grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1173192.
