Begun in 1767 by John Wood the Younger, the crescent took eight years to complete and included some of the grandest houses in Bath. John Wood was utterly determined that his masterpiece should present a prospect of total uniformity and understated gracefulness, his sweeping vision and scrupulous attention to every detail has created a great elliptical curve almost fifty feet high and five hundred feet long that comprises thirty houses of grand proportions.
Such harmony, restraint and elegance, plus the gently sloping sweep of grass that stretches before it, always has the same effect ? whether you are seeing the crescent for the very first time, or for the hundredth, it is a sight that never fails to draw a gasp of amazement. When the famous literary hostess, Mrs Elizabeth Montagu, came to live at No.16 in 1780 she declared that ?The beautiful situation of the Crescent cannot be understood by any comparison with anything in any town whatsoever.? Over two centuries later it is hard to see how any sensible observer could reasonably challenge this bold claim.

The Library and the magnificent State Rooms are always greatly appreciated by guests, including one of England's earliest surviving Print Rooms with its reminders of the Grand Tours undertaken in the 18th Century. The Palladian Saloon has been described as one of 'the finest rooms in Somerset'.
Guests often delight in going 'below stairs' to the old kitchen, still preserved as it was in its Georgian heyday. |
