Location of Partis College, Bath in Somerset

Partis College on Newbridge Hill, Bath, Somerset, England, was built as large block of almshouses between 1825 and 1827. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

It was founded by Ann and Fletcher Partis for women "who had been left in reduced circumstances", and still provides accommodation, in 30 terraced houses set around three sides of a quadrangle, for women, aged over 50 in membership of the Church of England.[2]

In 1862, George Gilbert Scott redesigned the original chapel,[2] which had been built by Goodrich.[1]
