A truly unique piece of art

Sir George Gilbert Scott’s designs for his Bath Abbey Pews were intended to reflect the majesty and significance of the building in which they would be installed.

Each piece is hand-made, crafted from English Oak and finished with two, unique, custom designs on each end of the pew. The designs reflect a number of influences on Sir Gilbert Scott and include a number of designs taken from within the abbey and based upon its stonework, memorials and stained glass windows.

Each piece was crafted, installed and remained in place until its removal between 2015 and 2018. Each is a unique treasure and memorial to a great Abbey, a great designer and a great story.

Own a unique piece of history from the heart of Bath Abbey

Bath is one of the earliest centres of Christianity in Britain. Founded in 675, on the site of Roman Bath’s earlier temple complex, Bath Abbey was one of the earliest and most important religious institutions in England and remained so for much of the Medieval era.

In 973, the Abbey was chosen as the venue for the coronation of Edgar – the very first ‘King of England’. Edgar chose Bath Abbey for its splendour, significance and its Roman Imperial connections.

His coronation ceremony heralded a new era of prosperity and peace for the English people, and the dramatic ceremony was an awe-inspiring event, designed to reflect the greatness of Edgar’s Kingship, his commitment and closeness to God, and the might and ambitions of his Kingdom. Edgar’s Coronation ceremony has formed the basis for every English coronation since.
