Bath became a spa town in 60AD, when the Romans constructed Baths for bathing, though it is thought that the hot springs were well known to people in the area well before then. Roman Baths comprised of a frigidarium or cold room, a Tepidarium or warm room and a caldarium or hot room. They would usually finished with a dip in a cold pool. To clean themselves Romans cleansed their skin with oil and scraped it off with a device called a strigil. After the Romans left the Saxons invaded Eastern England. In 577 AD they won a battle at Dyrham. They then captured Bath, Cirencester, and Gloucester. Bath became a significant centre for the wool industry during the middle ages.
Bath Abbey is located in the heart of the city, close to the Roman baths and pump rooms. The Abbey is made of Bath stone, which gives the exterior its yellow colour. Dating back to the 7th Century, the abbey has seen many restorations over the years, making the Abbey a truly magnificent building today.
In the Georgian period Bath developed into an elegant spa city, famous for its literature and art. Three men – celebrated social shaper and Master of Ceremonies Richard “Beau” Nash, architect John Wood Senior and entrepreneur and quarry owner Ralph Allen – together provided the stimulus to start this social, economic and physical renaissance, resulting in a city that played host to the social, political and cultural leaders of the day. John Wood’s most notable work in Bath included: St John’s Hospital, Queen Square, Prior Park, The Royal Mineral Water Hospital, the North and South Parades and The Circus. Unfortunately he passed away three months before the first brick was laid at the Circus, leaving his son John to finish his vision.

The observation was duly reported to the Princess, this caused her to shun the City for the entirety of her reign, Victoria did not return to Bath as Queen.
