A unique opportunity to visit The Hetling Pump Room, pre-eminent location for taking The Waters in 18th century Bath, before the Grand Pump Room opened. It was here The Austens came on one of their early visits in 1799 so that Edward could take the waters. Share the experience and listen to a short talk explaining the etiquette, effectiveness and expense of ‘taking the waters’ in the 18th century. There will also be an opportunity to share stories and scandal!
