About Larkhall
Where to stay in Larkhall
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Larkhall sits apart from the visitor streets. The district is residential ground north-east of the Bath city centre, so a room here comes with a walk or a bus ride rather than the centre on the doorstep. Calm is what the distance buys.
Travellers content with a longer approach get the Church of St Saviour, the listed frontages of Percy House and Grosvenor House, and streets that stay residential at either end of the day.
About Larkhall
What are the main landmarks in Larkhall?
The Church of St Saviour heads the list. Larkhall's register runs mostly to houses, among them Percy House, Piccadilly House, Northfield House, Somerton House, Frankley House, Grosvenor House and Grosvenor Villa, with Hessle House and Mount Beacon House on the same roll. The Church of St Mary stands nearby.
St Stephen's Church, Bailbrook House and the Former Bailbrook Mission Church fill out the older fabric, along with Batheaston Villa, the listed run at Claremont Place and Barn Close in Lambridge.
What is the history of Larkhall?
Work built this district. Larkhall grew from the early 19th century as housing for working people in Bath, a purpose the record states plainly and one that shaped the streets north-east of the city centre. Churches came with the houses.
The Church of St Saviour and the Church of St Mary mark the parish side of that growth, while Bailbrook House, the Former Bailbrook Mission Church and Batheaston Villa carry an older record than the roads laid around them.
Where is Larkhall?
The district lies north-east of the Bath city centre in England, close to Lambridge and to Bailbrook at the outer edge of the built-up city.
