St Nicholas, Wilsford, Tower Aflame by Gerry Lynch/林奇格里

St Nicholas, Wilsford, Tower Aflame

The tower of St Nicholas, Wilsford, is set aflame by the sun's rays.

St Nicholas is the parish church of the Wiltshire village Wilsford, situated towards the eastern end of the village. It is part of the Church of England Diocese of Salisbury. In some ways, no church encapsulates the spirit of this largely rural diocese better.

Wilsford is a tiny village with a population of perhaps 60 or 70, in a relatively remote location, eight miles east of Devizes and six miles south of Pewsey.

St Nicholas was ‘restored’ in 1864 and 1960, although in quite a low impact way. It originally dates from the 12th Century although the nave and chancel are Early English, built in the 13th Century. The tower was built in the 15th Century with a quatrefoil frieze at the base, a fleur-de-lys frieze below the battlements, and pierced stonework windows in the belfry.

Gay Street, Bath, south end by Gerry Lynch/林奇格里

Gay Street, Bath, south end

The southern end of Gay Street was built by John Wood the Elder in and around the 1730s. Number 41, which dominates this shot, is one of Bath’s more interesting houses, built by Wood in 1734. As the official listing says, “This design shows a clear setting aside of Palladian uniformity, and the adoption of a more Baroque, Gibbsian treatment for this prominent corner site.” The houses to its left were all built by Wood the Elder, each individually designed, at some point in the 1730s.

The northern reaches of Gay Street, which aren’t really visible here, were built by Young’s son as a single development between 1755-60.

Bath is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset. With a history going back to Roman times, when it first became a centre for bathing, much of its famed architecture dates from the Georgian era, when it became a fashionable place for wealthy Londoners to take the waters, connected by the ever faster stagecoach network.

Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Baedecker Blitz of 1942.

Gay Street, Bath, north end

Notable for its unity, harmony, and symmetry (visible despite the pandemic-era building works visible in this shot), the northern end Gay Street was built as a single development by John Wood the Younger in 1755-60. The lower reaches, which aren’t really visible here, were built by his father a few decades before and have less uniformity.

St Michael's and New Bond Street, Bath by Gerry Lynch/林奇格里

St Michael's and New Bond Street, Bath

In the heart of Bath’s shopping district, three buildings show off construction and architecture from after Bath’s Georgian heyday, and how it’s possible to have development while preserving townscape character.

On the left, part of 1 Upper Borough Walls is visible. This was built as a shop with accommodation in around 1810, but was repaired in around 1983 with a modern shopfront added in 1988 by Alec French and Partners.

In the centre is the 1927 central post office for the city, a typical piece of interwar government architecture by HM Office of Works.

To the right is St Michael’s Church, a Victorian structure on a site used for Christian worship since medieval times. It was built in 1835-7 to a design by G P Manners with its tall and narrow ‘W’ tower. It is Grade II* listed.

Even the 1989 Podium Shopping Centre, containing Waitrose, on the far right, has made some attempt to preserve Bath’s characteristic style of stone and rooflines.
