- Bath Abbey, Somerset, UK
-
The exterior of Bath Abbey from the west -
The interior looking towards the east stained glass windows -
The interior looking across the nave towards the west stained glass windows
- Reason
- It shows the three major views of Bath Abbey: The exterior west front, the interior looking east and the interior looking west. The main notable architectural feature of the interior is the intricate detailing of the ceiling's fan vaulting, which is clearly visible and very detailed in both interior images.

- Support – If I had to choose, I'd pick the eastward interior view – magnificent. Sca (talk) 15:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support interiors; not too sure on the exterior. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not too bothered about removing the exterior image from the set if you think it's better that way. Seems you're not the only one. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 07:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support I do find the people in front of the building to be rather distracting, but interior shots are so good I still want to support Mattximus (talk) 00:14, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've been to Bath many times and the courtyard in front of the Abbey is always like this - if anything, this is quiet for Bath - and there's usually a busker too (not much has changed in the last 8 years!). I agree that the image is not as strong as the interior images, but I figured the exterior image contributes to a more complete understanding than the interior images alone.

- I agree to keep the exterior shot even though it's not as great as the interior shots. Just out of curiosity, would there still be people there at obscenely early hours? Mattximus (talk) 14:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Probably not a crowd, but probably a few people. But then the Abbey would be in shadow as the sun would be behind it and I don't think it would look as nice. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 20:57, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
