Thomas Warr Attwood (c.1733 – 15 November 1775)[1] was an English builder, architect and local politician in Bath.
Much of the controversy surrounding him is justified since he was a plumber,[2] but because of his political connections he was routinely appointed as the architect, surveyor, and city planner for all of the Corporation of Bath's civic projects, including the new gaol, which he designed and built between 1772 and 1774.
All of his designs were almost certainly executed by his assistants, but he received both the credit, payment, and future commissions at a time when late 18th-century Bath was host and birthplace to some of the greatest architects in the kingdom.
He was killed by the collapse of a derelict building which he was inspecting on the site of the proposed new Guildhall.
South of the church of All Saints, Weston, it was designed by Baldwin and features an example of 18th-century cast-iron railings.
