HISTORICAL NOTES

Nos.1-7 Bloomfield Crescent, originally known as Cottage Crescent, is a crescent of seven (originally eight) houses built c.1793-95, to the designs of Charles Harcourt Masters. It is the earliest known work of Harcourt Masters, an architect and land surveyor, who, in addition to constructing an accurate scale model of Bath in 1789, was the architect of a number of significant buildings and gardens in the city. These include Sydney Hotel (now the Holbourne Museum (1796-7) and Widcombe Crescent (c.1805), which are both listed at Grade I; and the Grade II listed Sydney Gardens (opened 1795).

Bloomfield Crescent was built in what was then open countryside to the south of the city, on the north-facing slope of Odd Down, with extensive views of the main heart of the city. The Crescent is listed Grade II*.

In 1795, this property was the home of William Smith (1769 - 1839), known as the Father of English Geology and credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country.
