Historical notes

The Villa Magdala was built in 1868 and named after the Battle of Magdala fought in Abyssinnia - now Ethiopia - in the same year. Field Marshall Robert Cornelius Napier who commanded the campaign was a celebrated Bath resident of the day. Accordingly, the house was named in his honour.

It was originally constructed as a pair of gracious family homes - the fine cast iron balustrade to the main staircase tells of the style and grandeur of the families who lived here.
