Bath in 1727

 I live near Bath so was interested to find this about the '15

'A Jacobite arsenal was established at Bath, where there were collected three pieces of cannon, with the means of casting more, as well as eleven chests of firearms, and a hogshead full of basket-hilt swords. Further arms had been ordered from France. The plan of campaign at this time was for the rising to begin in several places in the West simultaneously, but for the centre of it to be at Bath.
