context_page_description: Buxton Crescent is a Grade-I-listed building in the town of Buxton, Derbyshire, England.
  Owing much to the Royal Crescent in Bath, but described by the Royal Institution of British Architects as "more richly decorated and altogether more complex",
  it was designed by the architect John Carr, and built for the Fifth Duke of Devonshire between 1780 and 1789.
context_section_description: The Crescent faces the site of St Ann's Well, where warm spring water has flowed for thousands of years. The well is at the foot of The Slopes, a steep landscaped hillside in the centre of Buxton. Here the geological strata channel mineral water from a mile below ground, to emerge at a constant 27.5 °C (81.5 °F).
