Bath Abbey

There has been a place of Christian worship on this site for well over a thousand years. However, the Abbey has undergone many transformations and changes during this time, and much like the city of Bath has experienced rise and falls in fortune, survived a number of major conflicts, architectural and religious reforms, but still stands proudly today as an essential place for both worshippers and visitors.

As the history of this sacred place stretches as far back as Anglo-Saxon times, there is a great deal to discover: tales of Kings and Queens, saints and sinners, as well as stories of ordinary people.

Thank you Füsun. A very popular tourist destination. Luckily it was not as busy as usual on the day we were there. Probably because the weather was not very good.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Nicely framed Rosa. I must too have visited here once, as I have had a day in Bath but I cannot remember seeing this. Cheers, Herb

So much to see in Bath Herb. I live 30 miles away and have been there many times but still places I have not seen. It was my first time visiting the Jane Austen Centre! Thank you for your kind comments....Rosa.

The vaults of this abbey offer, as at Wells, an admirable vision of the perpendicular style !

Thank you John. It's my kind of shot as well :) For Bath, this is almost deserted! In the summer you would hardly be able to move for people in this square...Rosa.

Beautiful framing here Rosa. An excellent capture. I haven't been to Bath in years but I really liked it there, particularly the older parts. Have a lovely evening

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Thank you Carol. Always worth a trip there, although it can get very crowded in the summer. That's when we go on the side roads and find the little out of the way places that turn out to be as nice as the centre.

Hi Rosa,

I like the framing here, and the two people make it so much more atmospheric.
I've been to Bath many times (mostly for work) but never visited the cathedral, so thank you for sharing!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your kind compliment. It is usually much busier than this. The rain must have kept people away....good for me though ;-)

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you so much Fabio. The frame was there ready for the taking ;-) There are usually many more tourists in the square, so I was lucky to have a fairly clear view.

Best wishes, Rosa.
