Haunted Bridgerton Locations - Bath

To celebrate the release of Bridgerton today, I will be featuring a few of the locations used in the filming, I am working on a feature of a Bridgerton/ Paranormal nature, so watch this space!

This is Lady Danburys Home. The Holburne Museum - Bathwick - Bath Since 1916 the Museum has been housed in the former Sydney Hotel at the end of Great Pulteney Street. The original design for the Hotel, prepared by Thomas Baldwin in 1794, was a two-storey building which would serve the pleasure gardens, known as Sydney Gardens, laid out by Baldwin beyond. The gardens remain the only remaining eighteenth-century pleasure gardens (or Vauxhall) in the country. After Baldwin was bankrupted his design for the hotel was not implemented. Instead a three-storey building was designed by Charles Harcourt Masters. The foundation stone was laid in 1796 and the building was ready by 1799. Visitors entered the gardens through the Hotel. It has been used as a location for many films & tv series, most recently seen in Bridgerton as Lady Danburys house. Hauntings - Reputed to be haunted by a little boy.. Has anyone heard any other stories?

Bridgerton Haunted Locations - Bath

Bridgerton Haunted Locations.. Bath To celebrate the release of Bridgerton Series 2, I am featuring some haunted hotspots on the sites in Bath where Bridgerton was filmed..

Mainly series 1, as due to the overwhelming success of the first season, filming for Season 2 was sneakily done in May last year just at the Holburne Museum (Lady Danburys House)

Abbey Green and Abbey Street ~ Bath This little area has a lot going on in the Bridgerton World. Its the location of the Modiste, where everyone gets their dresses from, No 2 Abbey Street, also known as Elton House, part of Abbey Green, currently a deli called Pickled Greens. Interestingly according to records, there was a hosier and haberdashers there in the mid 1700s, and a corset maker in 1846. Also a bootmaker called Wallace, no relation to me, I dont think....

Also the apartment of Anthony Bridgertons lover Siena is next door at No 3. Actual Abbey Green, the quaint cobbled circular street, is where Penelope & Eloise would stroll and chat around the market, also used for some night scenes. At the bottom of Abbey Green is the archway, where the Duke of Hastings falls down drunk after drowning his sorrows.

Hauntings- There is the Crystal Palace Pub on Abbey Green, which is reported to be haunted. Previously known as The Three Tuns in the 1600's In 1984, the landlord discovered several skeletons and a Roman mosaic floor , this spot was a Roman Villa as there is another floor at the back discovered in 1814. Several dark hooded monk like figures have been sighted here and a figure is said to materialise whenever building work is carried out and it has also been known to rattle empty glasses too. As well as the story of the naked Roman legionary who runs between the Abbey & the pub. Often, witnesses have seen this naked man, loping between the abbey and the Crystal Palace. Police with others have pursued this elusive creature. They reported a metamorphosis during the pursuit. In the first case, it loses its solid form, becoming a misty substance. Its shape quickly becomes cloudy with grey when it reaches Abbey Green, disappears. Also a tragic murder took place just around the corner outside what was Evans chip shop, in the 1980's Photo Source- Freshford com

The Royal Crescent

The Royal Crescent features in a lot of the scene-setting sequences in Bridgerton used to transport the viewer to Regency London, right from the beginning of the first ever episode, errand boys deliver the latest offerings from Lady Whistledown, and couples promenade.

In S1 Ep4, the characters gallop on horseback along the Royal Crescent and Beauford Square at night on their way to duel at daybreak.

At the farther end of the Crescent, Simon and Lady Danbury take a carriage ride together where the Crescent can be seen in the background and No. 1 Royal Crescent, on the corner, was used as the frontage for the Featherington House.

Hauntings -

Sounding like a plotline straight out of Bridgerton this ghostly tale starts off as a love story between classical singer Elizabeth Linley and playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

Elizabeth was born in Bath in 1754 and travelled the country with her family, singing.

Not only was Elizabeth a talented Soprano but was also the so called ‘Beauty of Bath’.

She had many admirers, the most persistent of which was Captain Thomas Mathews, who constantly harassed her, trying to force her to be his lover. Elizabeth, however, was not interested, and it was at this point she met Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

Sheridan was born in Ireland in 1751 and moved to Bath in 1770. He got to know Elizabeth, who was friends with his sister, and quickly became her confidant.

One evening in March 1772, Elizabeth was at home at Number 11, Royal Crescent, and under the cover of darkness snuck out to meet Sheridan who was waiting for her in the horse-drawn carriage outside.

From there they journeyed to France where they secretly eloped, at the time they were both underage and didn’t have their parents’ consent, so they swore to keep it a secret.

Once back in Bath Captain Mathews challenged Sheridan to a duel, Sheridan was victorious and went to Elizabeth’s father to officially ask for her hand in marriage but was denied and they were banned from speaking to each other.

This spurred Captain Mathews to confront Sheridan again, resulting in another duel, which this time Sheridan lost; however, his life was saved by a miniature of Elizabeth that he carried in his breast pocket.

Eventually, once they had both come of age, after much persistence from Sheridan, and Elizabeth threatening suicide, her father agreed that Elizabeth and Sheridan could marry.

There is no happy ending to this love story though, as they were both unfaithful throughout their marriage and at the age of 38 Elizabeth died from tuberculosis, with Sheridan living until he was 64.

However, their spirits reunited, and they remain together in the afterlife, with the couple’s ghosts’ been caught haunting the Royal Crescent in a horse-drawn carriage, as they did the night they eloped.

Sounds of a ghostly horse and carriage can sometimes be heard.
