Anglo-Catholic Churches in Bath
Leaving the centre of Georgian Bath and crossing the river Avon by the world famous Pulteney Bridge, you are already in the Parish of St. Mary the Virgin, shortly to be joined on your left side by the Parish of St. John the Baptist. Together these form the United Benefice of Bathwick.

For the time being, Covid regulations still apply; this means that the wearing of facemasks inside the church building continues to be compulsory unless exemptions apply; hand sanitiser should be used as you arrive in church; social distancing should be observed, and track and trace will continue. However all services remain open to the public, although those who have contracted Covid or show Covid symptoms and/or have been asked to isolate should not attend worship. Lateral Flow Tests prior to attending church are encouraged. Communion will continue to be administered in just the Blessed Sacrament for the time being, with the Precious Blood reserved to the celebrant alone.
With my continued prayers and best wishes for you all
Fr Peter
