Those of you who know me IRL know that I don't do religion in any shape or form but I do 'do' churches. I love the windows, the architecture, the history and find their communities - past and present - interesting.
Bath Abbey is wonderful and well worth a visit. The windows are beautiful and the height of the ceilings is awe inspiring.
It makes you wonder about the people that created such a ceiling - even more so after reading and watching
The Pillars of the Earth.
It was very busy when we visited and although M would have loved to have taken a tower tour I did my patented chicken dance, so we gave it a miss.
The carvings, sculpture and memorials were more than enough to interest me.
Detail of the big main door - what a skillful piece of carving.
The entry to the Abbey was a suggested £2.50 per person - though we were informed what ever we could afford would be acceptable. I think the Tower Tour was £5.00 per person.
Well worth the pennies - it is beautifully kept and the volunteers are unobtrusive and knowledgeable.
