Leaving the Bath Hotel by the arcade into the principal street leading to the castle hill, a handsome drinking fountain is passed prior to commencing the ascent to the castle gate. Passing through the ancient arched entrance, now converted into officers' quarters for the garrison, and where sentries of the io5th Regi- ment were on guard, we enter the castle yard and stand within the precincts of the priory. Approaching the west entrance, we pass along the ancient Norman nave, the transepts and ...the tower, to the beautiful choir and chancel, whose fragments are so picturesque and im- posing even in ruin. The east end and the south wall of the chancel remain in their entirety, and are graceful specimens of the transitional architecture that followed the more massive but shorter columns of the Norman period. The arches spring with a bold and tender grace, supporting a clerestory of similar character, and show the choir to have been a beautiful structure. The remains of a piscina are seen on the south side of the chancel, and a credence table or tomb in the same wall near the altar, and directly opposite, in the north wall, is a recumbent sculpture with folded hands, the features being defaced.
