Bath Abbey and the Heritage Vaults

Bath Abbey and the Heritage Vaults

The Bath Abbey is located across from the Roman baths. You can view the inside of the Abbey, but I chose to view the underground vaults instead. I believe it's just 1 pound to view the museum. It's a rather small museum, so an hour is more than enough time to view it all. If you are into religion, don't miss it. You will find artifacts and information on the creation of the Abbey and how it's fared throughout the years.

Bath Abbey and Heritage Vaults

The original Abbey Dates back to 973.
The present Abbey was rebuilt in 1499, then destoyed in 1539 and repaired again in 1611.
This is a good example of a Norman Cathedral.
The windows all have different scenes. Examples of Old Testament Scenes and crowning in Bath Abbey in 973 of Edgar the 1st effective king of all England.
The Heritage vaults offers an experience of the Abbey's history by means of models, artefacts and audio tapes. It is built over the monks' cloister and burial ground just outside the south east door.
