32 Brock St. Bath

When the elder Wood planned the King's Circus he visualized short subsidiary streets leading east and west from it, each terminated by a fine building, but an ever-increasing demand for houses led the younger wood to build these streets as circulatory links with the extensions planned by him. Thus Brock Street, built in 1765 and named in honor of John Wood's brother in law, become the principal paved access to the Royal Crescent.
With an assured sense of dramatic effect, Wood deliberately subdued the architectural expression of the houses lining these approaches, and in Brock Street the most elaborate decorated features are the shallow porches and doorways, which show many interesting variations of treatment. The building of Margaret Chapel was probably responsible for one curious flight of fancy displayed in the "Gothick" treatment of a doorway on the south side.
