Monastic Bath, 1500
Bath stands as a compact medieval walled town centred on its Benedictine priory, with the abbey being rebuilt under royal patronage and the hot springs still serving the sick and pilgrims. The walk moves from the city's gates and market streets down to the Roman baths in the valley, passing timber‑gabled wool merchants, riverside workshops and the monastic precinct in a living, stone‑walled town.
34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Bath as it stood in 1500 (“Bath Abbey”).
