Many a distinguished person "took the waters" at bath in the hope of some healing for soul or body, or often just to partake in some extra-marital shenanigans.
Much of the current architecture of Bath was designed in the Georgian and Victorian periods, predominately by the famous John Wood and his son (John Wood the Younger) during the 1700s.
Before the redevelopment in Georgian times the site was a row of houses, and prior to that the grounds of a monastery - the beautiful and imposing Abbey of the monastery still stands adjacent to the baths (it is actually on top of the site where the Minerva's temple was located).
