Bath Abbey, officially known as the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, is a historic parish church and former Benedictine monastery located in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, reorganized in the 10th, and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries, it stands as one of the finest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in South West England.The building features striking stained glass windows, intricate fan vaulting across its ceiling, and a grand west front decorated with ladder-climbing angels, representing Jacob's Ladder. Built from warm-toned local Bath stone, the abbey remains an active place of Christian worship, a vibrant community hub, and one of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks.
