The Bathing House
The Bathing House on the Northumberland coast at Howick was built by Earl Grey (b1764 d1845) Prime Minster from 1830 – 1834, who was known as a great reformer. His government passed two of the most important bills of the C19th, the Reform Act 1832 which abolished the patronage of Parliamentary seats by large landowners and the aristocracy such as the Duke of Norfolk, and the Abolition of Slavery Act 1833. His family home was Howick Hall, which is still the home of Lord Howick today. Charles Grey had 15 children with his wife Mary and an illegitimate daughter Eliza, with Georgiana Cavendish, wife of the Duke of Devonshire. After an unhappy childhood at Eton College, the Earl insisted on his children being home-schooled and built the Bathing House to help with outdoor learning. He had two rock-cut pools constructed on the foreshore below the Bathing House. The Bathing House and the steps cut into the rocks down to the pools are Grade II listed structures.
