I made a bath mat from scraps of fabric and an old towel. My friend gave me some fun disco witches fabric and I finally found a fun place for them. Making this mat was addicting like making potholders so I'm making another one today!

Bath Abbey, Bath, Somerset (UK)
Taken with Tamron 11-18 mm. Lens distortion left if for added perspective and Black & White conversion.
Sometime in early 1979 (this is an approximate date) I visited Bath in the south west of England for a conference, and with an afternoon free I wandered around with my camera (which I think was a Nikormat FT2 35 mm SLR (from the description on Wikipedia, and the picture from the Nikon archives)). These are some of the pictures taken that day.
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage site. From the UNESCO web page "Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under George III, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with the Roman baths."
St John the Evangelist (RC), South Parade, Bath, 1861-63.
By Charles Francis Hansom (1817-1888).
Tower and spire added 1867.
Grade ll* listed.
Reliquary - relics of St Justina within a shrine designed by Edward Hansom (1842-1900) in 1871.
Founded as an off-shoot of Downside Abbey by Father Worsley, this church replaced the inadequate chapel in Corn Street. The site was acquired from Earl Manvers and a pleasure ground formerly occupied the space to the west now occupied by a car park. The tower initially finished at the arcaded parapet level. The spire, when added in 1867, transformed the Bath skyline and the entire church forms a notable example of revived Catholic, and Gothic, confidence. Charles Hansom considered it to be one of his best works.

caractérisée par sa couleur miel, est mise à l'honneur dans la ville.
Elle fut notamment utilisée pour ériger l'abbaye de Bath, célèbre
pour sa voûte en éventail, sa tour et ses grands vitraux. Le musée
