St Mary the Virgin's Church, Bathwick
- St Mary the Virgin's Church, Bathwick
The Church of St Mary the Virgin is located on Church Street (not Raby Place as Pevsner mentions, although the two are the same street) in Bathwick section of Bath, Somerset. The church is Anglican and located near Pinch's Sydney Place (1808) and Bath's famed Sydney Pleasure Gardens.
The church was constructed by the Pulteney family, who used it to replace the medieval parish church of St Mary's, Bathwick, known even in Georgian times as Bathwick Old Church.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin was where the band Muse recorded the organ parts on their second studio album "Origin of Symmetry". [cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/release/534494|title=Muse - Origin Of Symmetry|work=Discogs|accessdate=2008-07-01]
Pevsner's Description
"St Mary [the Virgin] , Raby Place, Bathwick. 1814-20 by Pinch (John Pinch the Elder). The chancel by G.E. Street, 1873-5. Meant to be in the Somerset Gothic style, though of course the result is typical of early C19. W tower with pierced parapet and polygonal pinnacles. Nave, aisles, clerestory, high and a little pinched. Perp [endicular] tracery in the tall aisle windows and the lower clerestory windows with thin four-centered heads. Very tall thin piers of standard Somerset section (four hollows). Three galleries. No arcade arches, but a flat timber lintel funning through. This was originally plastered. Ribbed coved ceiling. The chancel not of particular interest. – PAINTING. On the altar early C16 polyptych, four winds, Netherlandish. – The original altar painting, an Adoration of the Child by Benjamin Barker, hangs high up against the W wall. – PLATE. Chalice and Cover 1572; Paten by Fawdery 1723; Chalice and Paten 1837."
