These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We arrived in late morning in Bath by train from London. Spent one night here and most of the next day.
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.

Interesting history about the Abbey:
www.bathabbey.org/visiting/history/
Built in 1499, closed by Henry VIII, restored under Elizabeth I...
Been living down here for nearly 5 years and this was one of the few times that I have done the tourist day out in Bath complete with open top bus tour, although any time I have to go to the city I make sure I pop into the little sweat shop over there because they sell the best range of liquorice.

A view of Bath towards Walcott Street with the Guildhall in front from the roof of Bath Abbey, Somerset. My tribute to the old 'Living Colour' postcards!
Back to Bath, in Mid-September and a couple of panoramics of the vaulted ceiling of the Nave. This was the Friday before the Queen's funeral so I knew it was going to be busy. In fact, so busy that the best pics were always going to be looking up. Each image is a four-frame stitch, taken with the old Powershot SX50. Still a great little camera!

Two views of Bath Abbey, taking our a day trip from Corsham.
(I confess I've actually cheated with this photo! Photoshop has just been updated and now you can change the sky! We had a dull, cloudy and slightly day trip to Bath, but I wanted to see how a blue sky would look!!)
