Bath Abbey

While the current building of Bath Abbey dates from 1499, it’s built over earlier Christian churches that date back over a thousand years. Impressive as that may be, the story of Christianity in Bath dates back even further.The abbey’s Heritage Vaults Museum takes the story back to roughly AD 350. Opened in 1994, the museum’s aims are the collection and preservation of significant items associated with the Abbey. This undertaking gives visitors a great opportunity to explore the history of the abbey. More than a simple testament to times gone by, Bath Abbey remains a vibrant place of worship with services taking place every Sunday.
