Lady Celia NOBLE
1870-1962
22 Royal Crescent

Lady Celia Noble lived at 22 Royal Crescent for many years, and died there in 1962 at the age of ninety-two. She was a grand-daughter of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the celebrated engineer who built the Great Western Railway and designed the revolutionary steamship Great Eastern. Her father, Arthur James, was an assistant master at Eton, and her mother was Brunel's daughter, Florence. After her marriage to Saxton Noble, who later succeeded to a baronetcy, she became well known as a hostess in musical and artistic circles in London, and after she came to Bath she continued, for many years, to arrange concerts of chamber music at her home in the Crescent. Princess Marie-Louise, a grand-daughter of Queen Victoria, stayed with her whenever she came to Bath, and Queen Mary, consort of George V, visited her frequently during the last war. Her salon was the last of a line that stretched back to Mrs Montagu in the eighteenth century.
