After Bath Abbey was dissolved in 1539 at the Reformation, it was looted and the church given to the parish. A simple roof was constructed over the nave and the stone-vaulted choir used for services. The church remained in this unfinished state until 1864.
Sir George Gilbert Scott was commissioned to work on the building by the new rector, Charles Kemble, largely at his own expense. The most remarkable sight of the interior is the lace-like fan-vaulting of the nave. This was added by Scott in 1874 and modelled on the vault at the east end.
Bath, England. Breathtaking examples of fashion from the eighteenth century. I live and breathe for this style of fashion...I was born in the wrong century...maybe this style of dress will become fashionable again...would anyone else love to wear these glorious gowns besides me?

Bath bomb, set off in a bowl of water. I got cut off right at the end -- it smells good, too, it's orange scented. Mmm. www.allthecandyintheworld.com:16080/simplejots/?p=17
Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset in the south west of England. It is situated 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 13 miles (21 km) south-east of Bristol. The population of the city is 83,992. It was granted city status by Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1590, and was made a county borough in 1889 which gave it administrative independence from its county, Somerset. The city became part of Avon when that county was created in 1974. Since 1996, when Avon was abolished, Bath has been the principal centre of the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES).
The city was first established as a spa with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") by the Romans in AD 43, although verbal tradition suggests that Bath was known before then. They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs. Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year. The city has two universities and several schools and colleges. There is a large service sector, and growing information and communication technologies and creative industries, providing employment for the population of Bath and the surrounding area.
