NOTES: Rolfe & Crozier-Cole seem to have been responsible for minor fittings in the Abbey in the 1950s and 1960s. This plan, prepared by Roland Paul in 1894, was updated by Alan Rome in 1962. This Benedictine abbey church was founded in 1499 and ruined in 1539 during the Dissolution. Restoration of the church to serve as the grand parish church of Bath was promoted by Elizabeth I in 1574 and a new nave timber roof of lath construction had been completed by 1608-1616. Major restoration work was carried out notably to the nave roof by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. This was based upon the original vault designed by William and Robert Vertue.
