Bath Abbey
Bath Abbey, 13 Kingston Buildings, Bath, Avon, BA1 1LT.
Bath Abbey stands at the heart of the city of Bath; during the past twelve and a half centuries, three different churches have occupied this site.
The first abbey was an Anglo-Saxon Abbey Church and was pulled down by the Norman conquerors of England soon after 1066. A massive Norman cathedral begun about 1090. It was larger than the monastery could afford to maintain and by the end of the 15th century was in ruins.The present Abbey church was founded in 1499 but was ruined after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 by order of Henry VIII.
The Abbey was later restored and today is an active parish church in the Church of England. In 1999 it celebrated its five hundredth anniversary
