Sir Charles Wheatstone 1802-1875 scientist and inventor lived here

Park Crescent suffered significant damage in WWII and the structure to which the plaque was affixed in 1981 was not John Nash's 19th century original, but a mid-20th century facsimile. In late 2016 the entire western side of Park Crescent was demolished to make way for another reconstruction, completed in 2020. This plaque, and another commemorating Dame Marie Tempest at No.24, were removed and reinstated once the work was completed.
