Bath Pump RoomSometimes confused with the Bath
Assembly Rooms, the Pump Room is a set of elegant chambers built above the
old Roman baths. It was to the Pump Rooms that the upper classes flocked when
they came to Bath to "take the waters". The Pump Room is part of the
Roman Bath site, and is administered as one attraction for visitors. The
core of the Pump Room is the grand chamber which looks down onto the od Roman
Baths. Here you may sample the waters for a small fee. Warning! The waters at
Bath have a very high mineral content, and not everyone has the stomach to down
an entire glass of this natural liquid! The Pump Room serves mainly as a
tea shop for the Baths, and those visiting may partake of tea to the accompaniment
of live musicians, playing the classical music that would have been enjoyed by
visitors here over two centuries ago. The chambers you can visit today are
essentially the third Pump Room. The first was built in 1704, in the style of
an orangery. This building was remodeled in 1751, and then completely rebuilt
in 1796. Inside the entry to the Pump Room is a Bath Chair, used to carry
invalid visitors to and from their quarters in comfort. There is also a statue
of Beau Nash, the master of ceremonies at the Pump Room, and acknowledged fashion
arbitrator of Bath society. Address
