The Bulletin  

“THE ROARING DAYS”—B-PAGE LAWSON VERSE-PICTORIAL  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 74—No. 3838  

Wednesday, September 2, 1953

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper

“THE LANTERN OF ENGLAND”—BATH ABBEY  

AT the eastern end of the Mendip Hills in Somerset is the graceful city of  

Bath, the leading spa in Britain which is also rich in history and  

tradition. The Romans, who came to Britain in the year 47, left much  

evidence of their appreciation of Bath in the magnificent buildings which still  

exist today and are the most important Roman remains in Britain. In 1882  

the great Roman Bath was uncovered, the floor of which still retains its  

original lead covering.  

Under the Romans Bath, or Aquae Sulis as it was then known, served  

as pleasure city, but with the departure of the legions it fell into ruins  

and was later rebuilt by the Saxons.  

When Queen Elizabeth visited the city in 1591 it was in such state  

of dilapidation that she complained of its smell in no uncertain terms.  

With the Restoration, however, Charles II visited Bath and the city was once  

more in the front rank of fashion. It was not until the beginning of the  

eighteenth century that Bath became the beautiful city it still remains today.  

The famous Beau Nash, as master of ceremonies and presiding genius  

of the gaming rooms, attracted to Bath all the fashionable world of the day.  

As fitting background for this elegance the architectural genius, John  

Wood, swept away the medieval city and built the splendid, dignified streets,  

crescents and classical buildings which give the city its own character and  

individuality.  

Bath Abbey, renowned for the beauty of its medieval fan-vaulting and  

for its West Front, is known as the “Lantern of England.” It stands upon  

the site of seventh-century Saxon church in which King Edgar was crowned  

in the tenth century. This was followed by Norman cathedral of which  

only fragments now remain in the fifteenth-century Abbey built by Bishop  

King and restored in 1874 by Sir Gilbert Scott. The Abbey escaped with  

only slight damage during the enemy air raids of 1942 which caused so much  

destruction in the city.  

Of the many links which bind Australia to the historic city of Bath none  

is of closer or more enduring character than that of the city’s association  

with Captain Phillip (1738-1814), first Governor of New South Wales and  

founder of Australia.
