The thermal springs were attractions in Roman times when Buxton was known as Aquae Arnemetiae. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited Buxton on several occasions while being kept a prisoner before her execution in 1587. She used the thermal waters to cure her rheumatism. The Grade II building now houses the Information Office.
