A story untold...
The apothecarist’s basement dwelling was hugely popular in Georgian times for those who sought medicines to cure their ailments. Unconventional remedies - crafted by his own invention - and prescribed only to the inquisitive, his elixirs became the talk of Bath.
The righteous argued against the apothecarist’s wicked medicines and built a place of worship above the study, to banish the evil spirit’s below. The apothecarist fled, leaving behind an underground space which became a place to store wine beneath the Chapel above. This gave rise to the saying,'spirit’s above, spirits below'.
Today, that space has been resurrected to tell the apothecarist’s story. Join us as we uncover secrets beneath...
