The Bath Grounds get their name from the Ivanhoe Baths, a Neo-classical Spa building designed by Robert Chaplin and built by the 1st Marquis of Hastings. The spa opened in 1822 and was named after the Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe which mentions the local area. The land to the east of the Baths was laid out as an area of fashionable ‘greensward’ for the benefit of visitors to the Baths. This landscaped area consisted of a carriage drive and walks, used for sedate and genteel recreation. By the turn of the century a more formal organisation of recreation was reflected in the establishment of tennis courts, a croquet lawn and a bowls green and use of the area by the Ivanhoe Archery club and Deer’s Leap Gun Club. By 1926 the Grounds had become an established venue for hockey and cricket clubs.
The adjacent Royal Hotel, opened in 1827, was originally built to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of visitors to the spa. The Ivanhoe Baths were closed on 22 March 1884, caused by falling visitor numbers due to the new preference for seaside resorts over spa resorts. The buildings remained unused and gradually decayed, eventually being demolished almost 60 years later for health and safety reasons. The Royal Hotel remained, standing to the West of the Bath Grounds, and was granted a grade 2 listed building status in 1950.〔http://bathgroundsregeneration.co.uk/history.html〕
Remnants of the spa buildings are still visible within the Bath Grounds, including stone fragments from the columns, pediments and cornices.〔http://bathgroundsregeneration.co.uk/PDF's/NODE-%20Heritage%20statement.pdf〕
