Sally Lunn's House is the oldest known house in Bath. The present timber-framed building dates from 1492 and Roman and Medieval remains have been found below the cellar floor. Sally Lunn, a young French girl, did not arrive until 1680. She brought with her a recipe for a sweet, brioche-style bread, which has become known as the 'Sally Lunn Bun'. After Sally's death, the recipe appeared to be lost forever until renovations in 1937 uncovered a copy of the secret recipe in a panel above the fireplace. The museum beneath the tearooms offers visitors a fascinating glimpse of history. Adjacent is a cellar containing stalagmites and stalactites. Entrance to the museum is just 30p.
