Ben Rhydding Hydropathic Establishment:

the Turkish baths, c.1859:

the tepidarium

< Ben Rhydding: the principles of hydropathy and the compressed air bath / by a graduate of Edinburgh University. — London : Hamilton Adams, 1859

   
The Tepidarium was smaller than the Frigidarium, octagonal, and maintained at a temperature between 90-110ºF. 'Round the room, are a series of enclosed recesses, luxuriantly fitted up, which secure the desired privacy to each visitor—while a chastened and beautiful light is admitted, through a rose-coloured ring in the centre of the lofty vault.'
