This book is not about the great architects of the Georgian city of Bath, like John Wood the Elder, who designed the Circus, or his son, who planned the Royal Crescent. Instead, this is about an ordinary builder, who contracted to erect sections of those grand designs according to the plans laid before him.
My 4th great grandfather, Isaac Bennett (1748-1812), worked in relative obscurity to help fulfil the grand schemes of the famous architects but ended in bankruptcy and debtor's prison. His private life was also full of setbacks.
I hope to understand him better through writing this book about him, his origins and his descendants.
