Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Claverton Down is a suburb on the south-east hilltop edge of Bath, Somerset, England. It is linked to the Bathwick area of the city by Bathwick Hill.
Primarily a rural area with relatively few houses, it is home to the University of Bath, the headquarters of Wessex Water and a private golf course, the Bath Golf Course.
The American Museum is based at Claverton Manor, below Claverton Down on the road to the village of Claverton.[1] Claverton Manor was designed by Jeffry Wyattville and built in the 1820s, and is a Grade I listed building.[2]
Claverton Down was the location of an isolation hospital, constructed in 1876. It consisted of a number of temporary wooden ward blocks and two "fever tents." Permanent buildings were erected in 1931-34.[3] In 1950, at the age of 13, food writer and cook Mary Berry contracted polio and spent three months at the hospital.[4][5]
