Byron's daughter, brought up on mathematics by a mother determined she should not turn out a poet, lived in the square with her husband Lord Lovelace in the 1830s and 40s and wrote here the notes to her translation of Menabrea's account of Babbage's Analytical Engine - notes three times the length of the text, including an algorithm for the engine to compute Bernoulli numbers, and the observation that such a machine might one day compose music. The plaque is on the house; she died at thirty-six and is buried beside Byron.
