Church of St Swithin, Bath, Anglican church in Walcot district, Bath, England
The Church of St Swithin features Gothic Revival architecture with detailed stonework, tall windows, and a classical spire added in 1790.
Built between 1777 and 1790 by architect John Palmer, this church stands on the site of a former 10th-century religious structure.
The church holds special significance as the location where Jane Austen's parents married in 1764 and where her father rests in the crypt.
Visitors can explore the interior elements, including intricate woodwork, stained glass windows depicting the Ascension of Jesus, and multiple historical memorials.
The building remains the sole 18th-century parish church in Bath, featuring gates with rusticated base panels and decorative inverted torches.
