Royal Crescent Description

Royal Crescent, a monumental 200yd/184m semicircular sweep of residential town houses with a breathtakingly uniform, palacelike facade, was the work of John Wood the Younger (1728-1781) whose inspired masterpiece dispensed for the first time with the classic town square in the interests of integrating nature and urban architecture.

Most of the town houses are still private residences and maintain their 18th century appearance. Some windows are from the 19th century. (Number 1 is open to the public and is operated by the Bath Preservation Trust.)
