Description

Bath Abbey's Monuments: An Illustrated History by Oliver Taylor explores the rich history behind the church's 1,500 monuments. These unique structures tell the stories of those who worshipped, visited and lived in Georgian Bath, from market town to leisure capital. The monuments also reflect the Victorian era's architectural changes to the Abbey. The book delves into the lives of the people commemorated by these monuments, as well as the sculptors who created them. It also examines how their management led to a major conservation project to save the historic floor from collapse. With its unique blend of history and architecture, this book provides a fascinating insight into Bath Abbey's past. Oliver Taylor's work sheds new light on this significant collection of church monuments, which is now considered nationally important.
