The Natural Baths, Buxton

15th August 2013

 

Buxton is a natural Spa where there are pure mineral water springs and there are thermal springs which come from the ground at a constant temperature of 82 degrees Farenheit.   For this reason, the town was known to the Romans as  Aquae Arnemetia, (“the waters of the Goddess of the Grove”).

During Victorian times, a building to house the natural  Baths was built on the site of the original Roman baths.  This building, The Natural Mineral Baths was built by Henry Currey (1820-1900) in 1851-3.    The building is being renovated and will form part of the Spa Pool and treatment rooms of the new hotel which is expected to open in 2014.

We thought we’d do a little spotlight onto all our designs the next few weeks to give more story behind them as they’re all so historic being licensed William Morris designs ✨ First designed in 1874, this is Lily, a beautiful design that incorporates the willow background with lilies and wild flowers 🫶🏻 The design must have been well loved by Morris himself- it was the wallpaper he used to decorate his bedroom at the gorgeous @kelmscottmanor - his home in Lechlade 🤍 Have you ever seen Morris’ Lily design? It’s one of our favourites 🤍
