 Bath Abbey by sue_stone
The Bath Abbey is one of those photo-inspiring structures, as was the Bath Spa building and numerous others.
We merely gazed at the outside of these buildings this visit, we plan to return for a closer look one day soon. Leave a Comment Directions: All over Bath!

In Bath there are some clear examples of buildings with bricked up windows, which may have been affected by window tax. In 1696 this tax was created by William III & during a slump in the economy but this tax lasted until 1851.
The tax was paid on a house which had more then 6 windows, so as a result many people bricked up the excess windows. In 1792 a person who had 7-9 windows would be made to pay 2 shillings & houses with 10-19 windows would be forced to pay 4 shillings. In 1825 the number of windows allowed pre-tax was increased to 8 (how very generous).
Window tax was replaced by a tax called House Duty. Leave a Comment

Close to the Abbey church, you will find another gothic beauty, the church of St. John the Evangelist. The tower, in decorated style, is one of the highest buildings in Bath and visible from almost everywhere. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything about the history of this roman catholic church. If someone can provide me further information, I would be grateful.

 St. John's Catholic
Church; Bath, England... by coceng
Throughout The Middle Ages, Bath was served as an ecclesiastical centre & also a wool-trading town.
Bath has some amazing architectures !
This photo is a church with a high tower is one of them...It is called St. John's Roman Catholic Church.
Seriously, this church tower is visible from any angle if you are in Bath, but nobody on VT would write anything about it !
Even on the Internet, we couldn't find any infos on this church ! I wonder why... Leave a Comment

I love old architecture, especially the Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian style. I've got to admit, the olde Tudor style does nothing whatsoever for me though, and anything with beams showing on the ceiling inside a building really puts me off, that belongs inside old pubs .
Modern buildings just don't do it for me unless they have been specifically designed and built to fit in with the places that are already there.
These old houses were along the side of the road as we were coming into the city of Bath, they are tall and quite pretty in thier own way. They reminded me of a bygone time and age, one that could never be recaptured again, unfortunately, of fortunately, whichever way you might see it or have lived in it? For instance, being rich and upper class in the old days would have been great fun! but to be from a poor household and be forced in to service, read - slavery, would have never worked for me, i would have ran away or at least told the owners to F.O.
