Notable architecture

  • The Crescent (1780–1784) was modelled on Bath's Royal Crescent by John Carr along with the neighbouring irregular octagon and colonnade of the Great Stables. The crescent incorporates a grand assembly room with a fine painted ceiling. Nearby stands the elegant and imposing monument to Samuel Turner (1805 - 1878), treasurer of the Devonshire Hospital and Buxton Bath Charity, built in 1879 and accidentally lost for the latter part of the 20th century during construction work before being found and restored in 1994.
  • The Devonshire (1780–1789) was created from the Great Stables, converted by Henry Currey, in 1859. It became the Devonshire Royal Hospital (now the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby). Later phases of the conversion were by local architect Robert Rippon Duke including his design for what was the world's largest unsupported dome with a diameter of 44.2 m, beating the Pantheon (43 m) and St Peter's Basilica (42 m) in Rome, and St Paul's Cathedral (34m). However, this record is now routinely beaten by space frame domes such as the Georgia Dome (256 m). The main building and its surrounding Victorian villas is now part of the University of Derby.
  • Buxton Opera House was designed by Frank Matcham in 1903. He was a prolific theatrical architect and also designed several London theatres, including the London Palladium, the London Coliseum, and the Hackney Empire. It is attached to the Pavilion Gardens, Octagonal Hall (built in 1875) and the smaller Paxton Theatre. The Pavilion Gardens contain 23 acres of gardens and ponds and were opened in 1871. Opposite is an original Penfold octagonal post box (one of only 101 remaining).

  • The Natural Baths, by Henry Currey, sit on the site of the original Roman Baths. The building was opened in 1854 and re-developed as an arcade in 1987, featuring a barrel valuted stained glass canopy - the largest stained glass window in Britain - designed by Brian Clarke.
  • The Pump Room, also by Henry Currey, was built in 1884 opposite The Crescent. Visitors could 'take the waters' until 1981. Between 1981 and 1995 the building housed the unique Micrarium exhibition.[1] The building is being refurbished as part of the National Lottery-funded Buxton Crescent and Thermal Spa re-development. Beside it, added in 1940, stands St Ann’s Well.
  • The 122-room Palace Hotel, built in 1868, is a prominent feature of the Buxton skyline, situated on the hill above the railway station. It was designed by Henry Currey, architect to the 7th Duke of Devonshire.[2]
  • The Old Hall Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in Buxton. It was owned by the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, George Talbot. He and his wife, Bess of Hardwick, were the "jailers" of Mary Queen of Scots. She came to Buxton several times to take the waters, the last of which was in 1584. The present building dates from 1670 and has a five-bay front with a Tuscan doorway.[3]
  • The town is overlooked by two highly visible landmarks; atop Grinlow Hill (1441 ft above sea level) is Grinlow Tower (locally also called "Solomons Temple"), a 2 story granite, crooked, crenelated folly built in 1834 by Solomon Mycock to provide work for the towns unemployed and later restored in 1996 after a lengthly closure to the public. In the other direction, on Corbar hill (1433 ft above sea level) stands Corbar Cross, a tall, simple, wooden crucifix given to the Roman Catholic Church by the Duke of Devonshire in 1950, to commemorate Holy Year.
