This Georgian townhouse in Marylebone was originally built for MP Humphrey Minchin by a local builder Thomas Huddle, with interiors crafted by Georgian master plasterer James Little and painter David Williams.

In 1789, the house became the London residence of Richard Howard, 4th Earl of Effingham, who served as Private Secretary and Comptroller of the Household to Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III. The house played host to the Queen, the Prince Regent, and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger.
