About this audio guide
This guide to No. 1 Royal Crescent in Bath starts on the lawn, with a curve of columns that looks like one mansion, and asks what John Wood the Younger was really selling from seventeen sixty-seven. It follows the winter-season tenants of Georgian Bath, from a retired Irish MP to a king's son, and the servants' world next door. Best heard from the lawn facing the end house, before you go in.
