The front facade of Bath abbey, including a large arch containing an array of smaller stained glass windows. Angels climb carved ladders up the stonework.

The high arches of the interior of Bath abbey, leading down to a large model of the Earth at the far end.

A close-up of the model globe hanging in Bath abbey. Blue lights shine against the stonework, while an ornate light fitting dangles like a space-station in the foreground.

A close-up of a ornate red-and-gold light fitting. It has five lights in crenallated structures that make it look like some sort of science fiction battlestation.

The ancient roman baths, partially rebuilt by Victorian architects. Modern black-metal sconces ripple with flame, above water green with algae.

A view of the roman baths from above, showing the sconce-fires over green water and broken stone. The junctions between ruined roman stone and 1800s renovations can be clearly seen.

A view from an upper balcony across the baths complex. Bath Abbey rises on the opposite side of the street.

A golden bust of Sulis Minerva, the patron goddess of the Roman baths. The gold is pitted and marred in places, but it looks remarkably good for being a couple of millennia old!

A view across the Roman baths at water level. A row of Roman statues decorates the balcony above, and the replacement pillars are reflected in the green water.

The exposed columns beneath an ancient Roman hypocaust heating system, in a neat grid pattern.
