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.
