Synopsis
Excerpt from The Historic Guide to Bath: With a Map and Illustrations
The section headed Monuments in the Abbey includes brief biographies of the many remarkable divines, scholars, statesmen, soldiers, and distinguished individuals, whose remains are entombed within the walls. And this chapter will prove, most probably, a sufficient Manual to the visitors of this grand and graceful structure. The same principle is applied to some only of the parish churches; it would not have been practicable in all.
