Bath Abbey is right next to the Roman Baths in the heart of Bath. This was the first time I had the opportunity to go inside, and I was very excited! We spent over an hour wandering through the abbey, admiring the architecture and reading all the memorial plaques set into the walls and floors. We talked with one of the volunteer abbey guides, who was telling us that some of the plaques had typos- his favourite was a lawyer's marker, which was supposed to read "... live forever in blessed immortality", but was written as "... live forever in blessed immorality" instead!

So glad you got to go inside the Bath Abbey this time ! The architecture looks incredible. The massive organ reminds me of a couple we saw last summer in Glasgow and Dublin.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great epitaph for a laywer - "blessed immorality" - ha ! Pretty cool to see a George Smyth burial marker; wouldn't it be interesting to know ?!
Have a great daytrip to Canterbury !
I could gaze at that ceiling for hours!
