The beautiful carved stone baptismal font at bath Abbey is located in the north nave of this amazing church.
From the ornate Neo-Gothic/Gothic Revival look of the font, we are betting that it dates from the time when Victorian architect George Gilbert Scott dramatically improved the interior.
From the Bath Abbey website: (

"The Abbey as we know it is the work of Sir George Gilbert Scott, who from 1864 to 1874, completely transformed the inside of the Abbey to conform with his vision of Victorian Gothic architecture. His most significant contribution must surely be the replacement of the ancient wooden ceiling over the nave with the spectacular stone fan vaulting we see today."
