Bath Abbey and Arch. The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery and a proto (former) Co-cathedral in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The cathedral was consolidated to Wells Cathedral in 1538 after the abbey was dissolved in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but the name of the diocese has remained unchanged.

Gartholwg Camera Club : Bath Abbey
Although photography is allowed inside the Abbey, I was disappointed that I could not use a tripod - (that Health & Safety thing reared it's head again !)
I had to use my camera hand-held at a high ISO and then reduce noise 1st in ACR using a pre-set I have set up, then after the HDR process, I used Topaz 'De-Noise' on a very low setting. Had I been able to use a tripod with the camera at ISO 100, the images would have turned out much better (noise-wise !) IMHO.

i've been through and through this
i know just how it goes
you'll have no idea
you'll have no need to know
cuz i will make your body
grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound
i will erase light
and this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i'll leave to your discretion

Bath Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery now used a parish church. The first founding of the church was in the 7th century before being reorganised in the 10th century, the church was expanded in both the 12th and the 16th century before Sir George Gilbert Scott RA in the 1880's. The church is built in the Perpendicular Gothic style.
Taken the day before 1st National lockdown in March 2020, social distancing was being adhered to.
My little hotel was about a five-minute walk from the Bath Spa train station, and centrally located to a lot of what I wanted to see.
My room wasn't ready when I arrived, so I passed the time at the pub next door -- quite comfortably.
Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, South West England, 97 miles west of London and 13 miles south-east of Bristol. In 2011, its population was 88,859. It became a city by Elizabeth I granting it a Royal Charter in 1590 and a county borough in 1889. The city became part of Avon in 1974; since Avon's abolition in 1996, it has been the principal centre of Bath and North East Somerset.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") c. AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although oral tradition suggests that the hot springs were known before then. It became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
The station here was built in 1874 as the terminus of the Midland Railway's extension line from Bath to Highbridge.
