Lansdown, Bath
Lansdown is a suburb of the World Heritage City of Bath, England, that extends northwards from the city centre up a hill of the same name. Among its most distinctive architectural features are Lansdown Crescent〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 and Sion Hill Place, which includes a campus of Bath Spa University.
The Battle of Lansdowne (1643) was fought in the vicinity〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument )〕 and is commemorated by Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument (1720) on Lansdown Hill. Also on the hill is Beckford's Tower, an architectural folly built in neo-classical style for William Thomas Beckford in 1827.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕
Lansdown Cricket Club, founded in 1825 and the oldest club in Somerset, originally played at a ground called "Cricket Down" next to the original racecourse on the top of Lansdown Hill and close to Beckford's Tower (the current Bath Racecourse is about a mile to the west); later the club moved into Bath at the Sydenham Field, and when that was built over by the Midland Railway in 1869 it moved to its current ground at Combe Park, which is in Lower Weston.
