City of Bath, John Wood architecture

In the 18th century the Georgian style was introduced in Bath by architect John Wood sr. Queen Square was the first design in which classical elements were reused in the construction. John Woods second prestigious project was the construction of The Circus, originally named Kings Circus. This is John Woods masterwork in Bath. Building commenced in 1754. Unfortunately he died that same year and never saw the wonderful building completed. But fortunately he had a son, also named John Wood. He completed his fathers design four years later. The Circus was Englands first amphitheatre, and the Woods were undoubtedly inspired by the Colosseum in Rome. Just a house is not enough, the original Georgian Garden has the same dimensional stability as the houses, austere shapes and gravel in the middle, certainly no grass. Everything was built according to the masters design. After the Circus, John Wood jr built the Royal Crescent. It took seven years. John junior was probably influenced by the history of the Celtic druids who had a sickle-shaped temple of the moon in the area. He may have also been inspired by the existing landscape back then. Others insist he was paying homage to his father, in any case it was Englands first crescent with building elements from the ancient Greek and Roman style. Most servants did not get past the kitchen, serving your master was the rule. The kitchen had modern gadgets like an automatic grill.
