A study of some of the splendid Georgian buildings in Bath, Somerset. Haven't been on Flickr for a while, so will be doing some catching up soon, apologies to my contacts.
Bath is the second largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England, known for its Roman-built baths and Georgian brick architecture. In 2016, its population reached 90.931. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18.5 km) south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquæ Sulis, AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a popular religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town in the Georgian era. Georgian architecture, crafted from Bath stone, includes the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room, and Assembly Rooms.

Done. The sink on the left is now painted deep blue and the "fresco" and mirror are attached on the wall. The bathtub is removable and the mirror can be easily taken down from the wall to be replaced by a blackboard instead if I want to use the room as a bakery etc.
Now only the final touches are missing. There will be white ornamental lists framing the fresco and the ceramic tiles, as well as the sealing. And as with the other rooms, the lighting will have to wait. I have already made the small crystal chandelier for the bathroom but the ornamental sealing needs to be finished first.
Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it 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 medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
