BATH - ITS HISTORIC PAST

---

BATH ABBEY

First built in 1495 and finished in 1606, it occupies the ancient foundation of the original conventual church erected by King Osric in 676.

The vaults house a fascinating collection of items including Saxon and Norman stonework, a magical reconstruction of the great Norman cathedral and a vivid presentation of the dream of Bishop Oliver King who restored the decayed church in the fifteenth century.
