The photograph was sent in by Donny Loeber of Norcross. First in was Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross, telling us lots about Bath Abbey. “It is a charming and beautiful town called Bath in southwest England (two hours by car from London). The city is known for its Roman Baths, the ancient and unique architecture that shows all the periods over England’s rich history. Throughout history, the city has become a tourist and curative site because of their faith in the power of spring water baths to cure diseases. The city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and millions of tourists come to visit it every year.

Bath Abbey“Bath Abbey, or its full name, The Abbey Church of St. Peter, is an Anglican church and a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 7th century AD, restructured in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th. Inside the church there is room for 1,200 people. It is used for religious, civil ceremonies and lectures. The current structure is one of the best examples, the largest and most famous was an English Gothic style (Perpendicular Gothic).

“Stonehenge: One of the world’s known prehistoric sites is only 40 minutes southeast of Bath.”

The only other person recognizing the photo was Lou Camiero of Lilburn, who sent in a different perspective of the building. He added: “This one was easy, at least for me since we were there in 2013.”
