The Circus, Bath infrared

            The Circus, originally called the King's Circus, was designed by the architect John Wood, the Elder and was built between 1754 and 1768. Convinced that Bath had been the principal centre of Druid activity in Britain, Wood surveyed Stonehenge, which has a diameter of 325 feet at the outer earth bank, and designed the Circus with a 318 feet diameter to mimic this. 
The Circus is divided into three segments of equal length, with a lawn in the centre. Each segment faces one of the three entrances, ensuring a classical façade is always presented straight ahead
The central area was originally paved with stone setts, covering a reservoir in the centre that supplied water to the houses. In 1800 the Circus residents enclosed the central part of the open space as a garden. Now, the central area is grassed over and is home to a group of five large plane trees, which are believed to date to around 1820.
When viewed from the air, the Circus, along with Queens Square and the adjoining Gay Street, form a key shape, which is a Masonic symbol similar to those that adorn many of Wood's buildings.
The painter Thomas Gainsborough lived in Number 17 between 1758 and 1774, using part of its space as his portrait studio.
