Description
This bundle actually centres on the real tennis court behind No. 29 and also behind the riding school in Montpellier. The owner of the riding school Richard Scrace had the court built in 1777 and it lasted until the 1830s when it became a school for the poor and eventually a malthouse. See 'An Eighteenth Century Riding School and Tennis Court at Bath' by Trevor Fawcett in 'Avon Past' volume 13 Autumn 1988
(PP 328).
