Somerset Place, Bath (1)
A grand crescent distinguished by a massive broken segmental pediment containing paterae and swags and topped by a central urn. The pediment lends the terrace a slightly old-fashioned air. It is the sort of exuberant but gauche detail a provincial early Georgian builder might have put up. Disturbingly it is off-centre, a product of the building, which began in 1790, being interrupted by a lack of money and only being resumed c1820. John Eveleigh made the designs. Several houses were rebuilt after bomb damage in 1942. Grade I listed.
Owned by Bath Spa University until c2005 when the freehold was sold and these are now private houses.

Sion Hill campus of Bath Spa University
The cedar tree in the grounds has a good claim to be the most beautiful tree in Bath; it can be seen outlined on the skyline from much of lower Lansdown.
