- Notes:
- When John Wood the younger completed his father's scheme with the Royal Crescent terrace (1767-ca. 1775), the city had set a precedent of orderly grandeur that other architects continued to observe until well into the next century. The role of the younger Wood in this process is unclear. Although he actually built the King's Circus and Royal Crescent, the former was carried through exactly to his father's design and the latter probably to his father's general notions.
