Brief description of site

Queen Square, Bath is a communal garden, originally laid out to a formal design with elaborate parterres by John Wood. It is now a 19th-century town garden with grass and mature trees.

Brief history of site

The buildings were completed between 1728 and 1735. The garden was originally enclosed by a low balustraded wall, which appears to have been taken down by 1784 when a well-known print shows the square enclosed by railings. Features included parterres and gravel walks.
