More about this scene
The chapel replaced a Norman aisle on the same site. On the floor, to the right as we face the altar, is the gravestone of John de Berwick, a dean of the minster, who died in 1312. This was once an altar tomb in the centre of the aisle, and around it parishioners gathered once a year to deal with church business and elect churchwardens.

As a child growing up in Bath, I remember walking across this bridge with my parents and being taken into the shop to meet my uncle Harry Langer who made us very welcome. I remember the smell of leather and the interesting goods for sale. His son Brian Langer, now living in Basingstoke, still keeps in touch with my 93 year old mother and we exchange Christmas cards.
In 1938 my mother walked this street with me and my brothers and sisters every week, to and from Cowgrove to visit my Grandmother, who lived in a row of cottages around the corner (coming from the Minster) which I believe was Poole Road. If my memory serves me, there were cottages running at right angles to the road, with a path between the cottages and the toilet, which consisted of a door, ...see more
