Zusammen mit Beau Nash und dem Architekten John Wood dem Älteren trug er wesentlich zum Ausbau von Bath zum mondänen Kurort im 18. Jahrhundert bei. (de) Ralph Allen (1693-29 de junio de 1764) fue un filántropo, funcionario de correos y mecenas inglés del siglo XVIII, íntimamente ligado a la ciudad de Bath. Fue bautizado en la mansión St Columb Major, en Cornualles, el 24 de julio de 1693. (es) Ralph Allen (1693 – 29 June 1764) was an entrepreneur and philanthropist, who was notable for his reforms to the British postal system. Allen was born in Cornwall but moved to Bath to work in the post office, becoming the postmaster at the age of 19. He made the system more efficient and took over contracts for the mail system to cover England to the borders of Scotland and into South Wales. He bought local stone mines from his postal profits and had Prior Park built as his house to show off the versatility of the local Bath stone, using the old post office as his town house. With the architect John Wood the Elder, the stone he mined was used in the building work for the development of the Georgian city. However, the mines did not consistently make a profit and Allen subsidised them from his postal profits. After his death, he was buried in a pyramid-topped tomb in Claverton churchyard. He is commemorated in the names of streets and schools in the city of Bath and was the model for Squire Allworthy in the novel Tom Jones by Henry Fielding.
