bath, benedictine

Downside Monastery Archives and Library along with the Monastic Community would like to invite you all to our week long series of events: ‘Benedictine Bath’

When people think of Bath’s history, they immediately think Roman or Georgian, but the Benedictines have had a presence in Bath for over a thousand years.

As part of our celebration of Bath’s Benedictine history and heritage, there will be:

  • An exhibition in Bath Abbey including pre Reformation books and manuscripts from the Monastery Library
  • Vespers and Benediction in St John the Evangelist Church on Wednesday 8th July at 7 pm including monastic chant by the monastic community. This will be a return to St Johns, built by Downside in 1863, for the monastic community, since the monks left in 1932.
  • Walking tours of the Benedictine sites of Bath leaving Bath Abbey every day at 11 am and 2.30 pm.
  • A conference at the Guildhall featuring papers by Abbot Aidan Bellenger and Canon Anthony Harding.

Please see the attached poster for more details.

A very useful resource from the National Library of Scotland which lets you look at a variety of old maps overlaid onto modern maps and satellite images. So you see what your area of interest looked like at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th century overlaid onto a modern street plan.

The link here is centered on Worthing, but you can of course navigate to other places.

Also worth going to this page to see what other mapping resources are available.
