Amongst the many neighbours was William Beckford who was an author and politician, his father was the mayor of London. William Beckford was an avid musician and was briefly trained by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. William Beckford died in Lansdown Crescent in just ten away from this very property.
One sad loss during the Second World War was the destruction of All Saints Chapel in 1942 in one of the so called ‘Baedeker Raids.’ Positioned in the park just below Lansdown Crescent, sheep can sometimes now be found grazing in the field where the church once stood.
No 9 was built at the same time as Lansdown Place East on behalf of the coachmaker Charles Spackman, himself a renowned collector. Charles Spackman has a further significance in that he was also a benefactor to Thomas Barker who later became known as the Barker of Bath. A prolific and wildly popular 18th century artist who enjoyed painting rural life and spent three years in Italy, courtesy of Mr Spackman. Six of Barker's paintings hang in London’s Tate Gallery, including one of his best known The Woodman and his dog in a storm which was presented to the National Gallery in 1868. Thomas Barker died in a house on Cavendish Crescent in Bath which is a neighbour to Lansdown Place West.
