Contact Swim Mor Pool Spas : Bathing in the 18th century

In the 17th century most upper-class Europeans washed their clothes with water often

and washed only their faces (with linen), feeling that bathing the entire body was alower-class activity; but the upper-class slowly began changing their attitudes toward

bathing as a way to restore health later in that century. The wealthy flocked to health

resorts to drink and bathe in the waters. In 1702 Queen Anne of England traveled to

Bath, the former Roman development, to bathe. A short time later, Richard (Beau)

Nash came to Bath. By the force of his personality, Nash became the arbiter of good

taste and manners in England. He along with financier Ralph Allen and architect

John Wood transformed Bath from a country spa into the social capital of England.

Bath set the tone for other spas in Europe to follow. Ostensibly, the wealthy and

famous arrived there on a seasonal basis to bathe in and drink the water; however,

they also came to display their opulence. Social activities at Bath included dances,

concerts, playing cards, lectures, and promenading down the street.[6]
