About Fencing in Bath
Bath in Somerset grew up around its natural hot springs, which the Romans harnessed to build a temple and bath complex dedicated to Sulis Minerva, a fusion of the local Celtic water goddess and the Roman goddess of wisdom, with the Great Bath still fed today by the same spring water rising at 46 degrees Celsius that Roman bathers once used. The city was transformed again in the Georgian era, when architects John Wood the Elder and his son John Wood the Younger, working alongside developer Ralph Allen and society figure Beau Nash, built the sweeping crescents and squares, including the famous Royal Crescent, that made Bath one of the most fashionable cities in Georgian Britain.
