and Stanton Drew. Like Inigo Jones before him, who had also surveyed Stonehenge, Wood's study of these two monuments had an important influence on his work in providing key dimensions for the Circus in Bath and confirming his interest in the local antiquity of circular and crescent forms. Death and legacy Wood died in Bath on 23 May 1754, and was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's church, Swainswick. Many of his building projects were continued by his son John Wood, the Younger including; Royal Crescent, Bath Assembly Rooms and Buckland House. He also finished The Circus. Only two portraits of Wood are known to exist, one of which is a wooden bust which was carved from a death mask. There is an off-campus dormitory complex belonging to the University of Bath named John Wood Complex, on Avon Street. Bath is now a World Heritage Site, at least partly as a result of the Woods' architecture. References Hart, Vaughan (1989). ‘One View of a Town.
