		The Duke renamed the estate Claremont (he was then the Earl of Clare and the Belvedere is built on a mount), and it became both a refuge from his busy life as Prime Minister and a villa where he could entertain his friends and impress his political colleagues.
		Claremont returned to prominence in 1816, when Princess Charlotte (daughter of the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne) and her betrothed, Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, chose it as their home.
		The house, which lies to the north-east of the garden, was sold off (and is now a school) and much of the estate was built over.
