BATH ASSEMBLY ROOMS, Bennett Street, Bath Bath & NE Somerset BA1 2QH
Designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769, at a time when Bath was becoming
fashionable among polite society, the Assembly Rooms were both a meeting place

and are now let to Bath & North East Somerset Council, whose Museum of
Costume is in the basement

DYRHAM PARK, nr Chippenham South Gloucestershire SN14 8ER
Crowned with a balustrade and with fine views over its ancient deer park,
Dyrham was built between 1691 and 1710 for William Blathwayt, William III's
Secretary at War and Secretary of State. The rooms have changed little since
they were furnished by Blathwayt and their contents are recorded in his
housekeeper's inventory. There are many fine textiles and paintings, as well as
items of blue-and-white delftware, reflecting the contemporary taste for Dutch
fashions
