Education Search CLICK HERE FOR ALL ... STORY The Trust was founded in 1934 as a direct response to the ‘Bath Bill’, a plan to drive new roads through the heart of the city to accommodate the motor car to the detriment of the historic fabric. Since the Trust’s foundation there have been many campaigns to prevent destruction in the City, most notably in the 1960s and 70s when the ‘sack of Bath’ became a national scandal. As well as this very visible work the Trust has also quietly acted to help restoration of many details across the City from the Circus Acorns to, most recently, the Royal Crescent railings, and has explained aspects of the historic city to thousands of locals and visitors through its museums and educational activities. The Trust depends on membership income, donations, legacies and visitor admissions to continue its work for Bath. CLICK HERE TO VIEW ... accessible

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE, Over one million books sold! 98% Positive feedback. Approach our books, prices and service to the competition. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Requisite: New Description Vathek (1786), originally written in French, remains one of the strangest eighteenth-century novels and one of the most difficult to classify. Perverse and grotesque comedy alternates with scenes of 'oriental' magnificence and evocative beauty in the story of the ruthless Caliph Vathek's journey to superb damnation among the subterranean treasures of Eblis. Underlying the elegant prose is a strong element of self-indulgent personal fantasy on the part of Beckford, youthful millionaire, dreamer, and eventually social outcast. Byron, Poe, Mallarmé, and Swinburne are some of the literary figures who have admired Vathek's imaginative power. The text follows that of the 'Third Edition' of 1816, in which Beckford extensively revised and corrected Samuel Henley's original English translations from the French. The elaborate notes retained by Beckford in 1816 are also included.

Beckford, William WRITER, CONNOISSEUR, COLLECTOR (GREAT-BRITAIN) BORN 29 Sep 1760, London - DIED 2 May 1844, Bath GRAVE LOCATION Bath, Avon: Walcot Cemetery Son of the famous Lord Mayor of London of the same name, whose fortune from the West-Indies he inherited. His mother was Maria Hamilton, a granddaughter of the sixth Earl of Abercorn. In 1777 he travelled to Switzerland and Italy, where he stayed with his cousin Sir William Hamilton and his wife Lady Catherine Hamilton. The latter became a close friend and adviser. Back in London he was romantically involved with Louise Beckford, the wife of a cousin, and then with William Courtenay, a thirteen year old boy. To avoid a huge scandal he was sent abroad once more and travelled through Europe. He was with the Hamiltons when Catherine died. This was a huge blow to him and he returned to London where he wrote "Dreams". In 1783 he married Lady Margaret Gordon and in 1784 he entered Parliament. The 'Powderham Scandal' resulted is his leaving England once more. His wife died soon after the birth of their second daughter of puerperal fever and for twelve years he travelled through Europe, collecting books, paintings and all kinds of curiosities. Beckford spent a large part of his later life in complete isolation in Fonthill Abbey, a large house in gothic style especially built for him. Here he kept his enormous collections. The house had cost him around 273,000 pounds and financial problems forced him to sell it in 1822, together with part of his collections.
