Following the recent reopening of a leading project by Bath Preservation Trust, No 1 Royal Crescent, Culture24 has highlighted its history and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Culture24 writes:
\n<\/span>The first building block at No 1 Royal Crescent was set in 1756, and, after the house and its service wing, No 1a, were advertised for lease five years later, the house was taken by wealthy Irish widower and ex-MP Henry Sanford.<\/p>\n

Two volumes of Sanford\u2019s scrapbook, detailing his interests as a Gentleman of the Enlightenment, remain from his 20 years at the house. The Duke of York (George III\u2019s son), Henry Milsom, a divinity school for young ladies and critic and literary history George Saintsbury followed him.<\/p>\n

The two buildings were split after Bernard Cayzer bought No 1 in 1968. But the \u00a35 million restoration project has connected the main house with the original servant\u2019s quarters, improving the dining room, South Parlour, withdrawing room, Lady\u2019s Bedchamber and hall and stairs, as well as new spaces the Gentleman\u2019s retreat, Mr Sandford\u2019s bedchamber, the Kitchen and Scullery, the House-keeper\u2019s room, Coalholes, corridors and stores.<\/p>\n

A servants\u2019 hall will be used as a learning centre, and a new gallery \u2013 The Andrew Brownsword Gallery \u2013 will host changing exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Known as The Whole Story Project, the completion of the development has seen one of the country\u2019s finest examples of late Georgian architecture reopen to the public, aiming to tell tales of everyday life in 18th century Bath.<\/p>\n
