The houses of the Royal Crescent were designed to the individual requirements of wealthy and distinguished visitors to Bath and master craftsmen were responsible for the interior decoration, using designs drawn from the many pattern
books published at the time.
The foundation stone of No 1 Royal Crescent was laid in 1767 and the house first leased to Thomas Brock in 1769. Among subsequent distinguished occupants, records show that the Duke of York,
second son of George III, 'engaged the first house in the Royal Crescent' in 1776.
By 1968 No 1 had fallen into disrepair. Major Bernard Cayzer, a member of the shipping family acquired the house and gave it to the Bath Preservation Trust, who have restored the house to its former glory, with furnishings and decorations of the 18th century. to show how it might looked in past times.
