Logo for Britain's Greatest Buildings - Series 1 - The Circus

Dan Cruickshank presents the series exploring famous buildings. This edition visits the Circus, a perfect circle of palatial terraced houses in the centre of Regency Bath. Created by young architect John Wood and admired by Jane Austen, the Circus quickly became one of the most fashionable addresses in the country. But behind the elegant facade of Bath lies a tale of necromancy pagan ritual and human sacrifice.
