Immediately to the south-east of St Nicholas church is Wykeham Terrace, dating from the early 19th century. The Tudor-Gothic style is unusual in Brighton. These houses have had a chequered history having served as housing to which prostitutes could be sent for rehabilitation during the middle part of the 19th century, as Army married quarters in the 20th before being taken over by squatters. The terrace was eventually sold for redevelopment and turned once more into private housing. Among the better-known of the previous residents are Dame Flora Robson (the actress) and Adam Faith (the pop singer).
