Bath boasts a splendid Gothic abbey, renovated by Henry VII and built on the site of a Saxon monastery that was the coronation ground for Edgar, the first king of England, in 973. Now restored to its original splendor, with the vibrant colors of its fan-shaped vaults, the church has a new look. Its construction, in 1499, was interrupted and resumed in 1609, resulting in a mixture of styles. During the reign of ElizabethI, it was nicknamed the "Lantern of the West", in homage to its immense stained glass windows: 56 scenes illustrating the life of Christ.

L'entrée est gratuite. Le site est située en plein centre ville juste à côté des thermes romains. L'église est actuellement en cours de restauration mais elle se visite pendant les travaux.

Magnifique abbaye si on aime l'art religieux. Le plafond et les voutes sont splendides.
Lorsque nous y sommes allés, un don suffisait pour entrer.
L'extérieur est imposant, une jolie place avec des bancs se trouve à proximité.
