Bath Abbey Pier Base with Re-used Norman Masonry3D Model
Sixteenth century pier base within Bath Abbey. Excavations have revealed that the foundations of the Bath Abbey incorporate reclaimed stone from the demolished Norman cathedral that preceded it. This is perhaps most strikingly seen in this reused Norman column capital, which has been built into a 16th-century pier base.
