On our visit in Sep 2013 the manager of Lansdown Grove Hotel in Bath kindly provided the notes below which were prepared on the centenary of the Hotel. The manager recalled that a former Mayor of Bath had owned the building some years before it became a hotel, and that he was Jewish. However he did not recall the name Simon Barrow nor of the conversion to Anglicanism before becoming Mayor in 1837. From the notes, it would seem that Simon Barrow's original 'mansion house' was completed not very long before 1835; and that it was expanded several times - once early in its life as a hotel perhaps in the 1890s with the addition of 2 stories, and later with a garden wing added (visible to the right of the main building).
