Bath Abbey (St. Peter & St. Paul), 4 May 2015. Pictured is the West frontage, built 1520. The site was originally granted to the Monks of St. Peter in 757 by Cynewulf, King of the West Saxons (later Wessex). Edgar of Wessex was crowned as King of England at Bath Abbey in 973, the first effective King of all England. In 1090 the Norman Bishop of Wells, John de Villula, transferred his throne here and built a new Cathedral on the site, the Abbey then becoming a Priory. In 1245 it became a co-cathedral with Wells and successive bishops preferred to sit at Wells rather than Bath, which gradually fell into considerable disrepair. However, in 1499-1520 it was rebuilt as an Abbey Church (actually a Priory Church) in Tudor Perpendicular style but following the monastery's dissolution in 1539 it again fell into a ruinous state. In 1569 the church was repaired and rebuilt in Tudor Perpendicular style as the parish church of Bath. The Abbey again fell into a state of disrepair in the early 17th Century and was reroofed and restored in 1611. By 1860 it was once more in poor condition and was heavily restored by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The church suffered bomb damage in 1942 by the German 'Baedecker' raids and was repaired yet again.

Little did I realise that shooting reflections in a bank window would cause such problems. I hadnt realised it but I had spent quite a lot of time there to what looked to the security cameras that I was in fact photographing the inside of a bank. Next thing I know a police car pulls up next to me and two of our finest got out. They asked me what I was doing? I replied that I was shooting street reflections in the window. As I demonstrated it next thing I knew I had handcuffs on and was put in the car. They set off with sirens and lights. I was sat in the back seat with one of them, he started pushing me about a bit, then it got serious, The door opened and he was pushing me out.
Just like I am pushing you.
I just made it all up,
cept for the shooting in the bank widow reflections.
Try it, Creativity.

Bath is a city in the county of Somerset, South West England, known for the curative Roman-built baths that still exist there. Bath is located 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Bristol. The city, in the valley of the River Avon, became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
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 even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of the water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath stone, including the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room and Assembly Rooms where Beau Nash presided over the city's social life from 1705 until his death in 1761. Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder, and in the 18th century the city became fashionable and the population grew. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Bath Blitz in World War II.
