Behold how it is good and pleasing. This is the exhortation in Latin across the doors of Bath Abbey. Millions come to do just that. Bath Abbey was once a great cathedral priory, dominating a tiny walled city. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the church was left a roofless shell until the people of Bath decided to make it their own. The restoration was a mammoth task. It was completed through the generosity of Bishop James Montagu. These carved doors were donated by his brother.
