Hidden deep in the woods near Troopers Hill is an 18th century Bath House. It dates from the mid 1700s and is thought to have been built by William King. It was the most important feature of a terraced garden that was attached to a house built next to his glass bottle furnace in Crews Hole.

Water flowed in from a cistern behind the House and probably came from a local spring.

It is thought to have been used weekly rather than daily and for medicinal rather than hygiene purposes.
