Christopher Benson

Pargiter Court Pargiter Court, originally known as St James's Dwellings, was built in 1886 by the St James's Parish vestry. The flats were intended to house local working people and the vestry ordered the iron guard rails still in front of each window "to encourage a taste for window gardening". In 1985 the flats were acquired by the Soho Housing Association for renovation, to provide sheltered accommodation for elderly residents. The new flats were opened by Sir Christopher Benson, Chair of the Housing Corporation on 14th December 1990.
