Bath Churches: Bath Abbey - 13 Kingston Buildings, Bath, North East Somerset, BA1 1LT, England
Tel: +44 (0)1225 422462
Bath Abbey is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the south-west of England and was founded in 1499. Built in the centre of Bath, the Abbey actually stands on a site with religious connections dating back to the 4th century. Bath's parish church is also known as the 'Lantern of the West' because of the light that floods the interior through the abbey's many stained glass windows. The coronation service for Edgar, the first King of England, took place in a small Saxon church on this site, and the church was soon replaced by an enormous cathedral, so big that the present Bath Abbey could have actually fitted inside it. That soon fell into disrepair and was later rebuilt as the current, impressive Bath Abbey.




In 1539, King Henry VIII gave orders for Bath Abbey to be destroyed, along with many other churches in the country. His daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, later restored the abbey, which is when Bath Abbey started it long service as Bath's parish church. Attractions at Bath Abbey include magnificent fan vaulting above the nave, carved stone angels climbing down ladders on the west front, the Edgar window on the east wall of the end and the large courtyard outside, surrounded by benches.
