The Circus
The Circus is a Georgian terrace of townhouses split into three segments based around a circle. Designed by architect John Wood the Elder, and built between 1753 and 1768.
The architect actually only designed the front elevation of the buildings, which are all uniform and matching. The rest of the buildings were individually built and thus the rear of the buildings are a random mix of different configurations. As most of the buildings in Bath, the buildings are constructed in Bath Stone. Grade I listed.
