Historical Description
MARYLEBONE, a parish, a district, and a borough, in Middlesex. The parish forms a compact portion of the metropolis; lies on the Regents canal, the Northwestern railway, and the Metropolitan railway, 3 miles NW by W of St. Paul's; is bounded, on the N, by Primrose-hill and Queens-road, on the E, by Cleveland-street and part of Regents-park, on the S, by Oxford-street, on the W, by Edgware-road; includes the suburbs of St. John's Wood and Portland-Town; and has several stations on the railways, and numerous post offices and postal pillarboxes under London W and London N W. The ancient nucleus of it was a village called variously Eyeburn, Aeybourn, and Tyburn, names denoting an insular position on a rivulet, and alluding to a small stream which once supplied water through reservoirs to London city, and now flows underground into the Thames near Vauxhall-bridge. A church or chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, stood at or near the village, and took the name of St. Mary-at-Aeybourn, or St. Mary-a-le-burn; and that name has become corrupted into Marylebone, or popularly Marbon. The tract around the village continued long to be open country, became eventually a haunt of footpads, and was a hunting-place of Queen Elizabeth. The manor belonged to the Hobsons; passed to the Crown in the time of Henry VIII.; went, in that of James I., to E. Foster; passed to the Austens, to Holles Duke of Newcastle, and to the Harleys; went, in 1734, to the Duke of Portland; and reverted, in 1813, to the Crown. The extension of the metropolis, from about the time of Elizabeth, but especially since the middle of last century, gradually transmuted the entire area from a rural to an urban character. The parish, as a whole, is now one of the most splendid portions of the metropolis. It contains Portman-square, Cavendish-square, Manchester-square, Bryanston-square, Montague-square, Park-square, Dorset-square, Harewood-square, Blandford-square, Cumberland-square, Park-crescent, York-terrace, Sussex-terrace, Portland-place, Baker-street, the upper part of Regent-street, and many other fine streets and places; it enjoys the rich amenities of Regents park; it underwent great improvements, by renovation and modernizing of buildings, throughout the portions of it on the Duke of Portland's and the Marquis of Westminster's estates, in 1864-67; and, though it includes some inferior localities and has suffered disparagement by comparison with newer portions of the metropolis further to the W, it still maintains a successful rivalry with even Kensington and Tyburnia. The worst spot in it is Crawford-place, a narrow court running from Crawford-street to Homer-street, and so offensive as to have been specially reported to the sanitary committee in the latter part of 1865; a number of other places also are so inferior as to be inhabited only by tradespeople; yet all these, taken together, do not prevent it from being aggregately fine and fashionable.
Portman-square was built chiefly in 1790-1800; has, at its NW corner, a detached house in which Mrs. Montague held her blue-stocking parties; and has, on its S side, residences of Lord Leigh and the Earl of Cardigan. Cavendish-square was built in 1730-60; contains an equestrian statue of the Duke of Cumberland, who quenched the rebellion of 1745, set up in 1770; has, on its W side, the residence of the Duke of Portland; and was to have had all its N side occupied by the entrance to the mansion of the Duke of Chandos. Park-crescent has a statue of the Duke of Kent. Regents-park lies mainly within the parish; extends from York-gate in the New-road to Primrose-hill; comprises 472 acres; is nearly surrounded with very handsome edificed terraces; was planned in 1812 by Nash, and progressively formed and ornamented till the latter years of William IV.: took its name from the Prince Regent, afterwards George IV.; was designed to have a residence of the Prince on its NE side, and to communicate through Regent-street with Carlton House and St. James' Palace; is traversed northward, on a line with Portland-place, by a broad avenue with rows of trees; has ramifications of footpath thence in all directions, with interspersions of ornamental plantations; contains the botanic gardens, the zoological gardens, and the toxopholite garden; has an inner circular drive around the botanic gardens, commanding a view of some of its finest features, and an outer drive of about 2 miles, passing St. Dunstan's villa, built for the Marquis of Hertford who died in 1842, and containing in its grounds the automaton clock-strikers from St. Dunstan's church in Fleet-street; and is adorned with beautiful isleted sheets of water, the chief of which was the scene of an accident in Jan. 1867, through sudden breaking of ice, involving the immersion of several hundreds of persons and the drowning of forty. The botanic gardens comprise a circular area of about 18 acres, together with an extensive winter garden; and are the scene of three public flower-shows in the summer months. The zoological gardens occupy a large portion of the N end of the park, and contain about 1,500 animals. The Crown estate within the parish comprises Regent-park, the upper part of Portland-place, Park-square, and Park crescent, Albany-street, Osnaburgh-street, and the adjoining cross streets, York-square, Cumberland-square, Regent-park basin, Augustus-street, E and W Park villages, and the outer road

There are also several national schools, a female orphan school of industry, and a training refuge for destitute girls. The Middlesex hospital is in Berners-street; was founded in 1745, with accommodation for only 18 in-patients; underwent such great enlargement as to have accommodation for nearly 400; and, at the census of 1861, had 320 inmates. The lying-in hospital was established in 1752 at Bayswater; was removed to Marylebone in 1810; and, at the census of 1861, had 68 inmates. There are also a ladies' invalid establishment, an orphanage asylum, a cripples' home, a refuge called All Saints home, a female protection society, alms houses for 63 persons, a general dispensary, and several other philanthropic institutions. There are likewise a convent in Blandford-square, and a house of mercy in Union-place; and these, at the census of 1861, had respectively 29 and 61 inmates.
A banqueting-house of the lord mayor of London stood on Conduit-mead, now Stafford-place. Marylebone House stood on a spot now occupied by Devonshire mews; was, with its gardens, converted into a place of public resort, and continued to be such till 1777; and was taken down in 1791.
