The Bath Abbey was begun in 1495, on the foundations of a church built in 676. Within it, several prominent Bath citizens are buried, and Edgar, the first king of a united England was crowned here. Tthe Abbey is open for tours. Visit the official site of the Bath Abbey at http://www.bathabbey.org/
This is the Bath Abbey. It shares a courtyard with the Roman Baths that were built almost 1500 years earlier. The Abbey is the home to an Anglican order, and open for tours.
This is a shot of the Abbey from the front door. I found this on www.corbis.com
Outside the Abbey a sculptor was working on a new statue for the millennium celebration. That's me checking out the progress. The statue is done now, you can see the finished product at http://www.tindall26.fsnet.co.uk/
