Bath Abbey. West Doors

The West Doors of Bath Abbey are of heraldic and historical significance
as well as being wonderful to see. Inside the Abbey a plaque notes that
”Sir Henry Montagu, L(ord) C(hief) J(ustice) erected the great West
Doors”in memory of his brother Bishop James Montagu. They are
adorned with elaborate carvings of three versions of the Montagu arms –
the generic family arms, those of Bishop Montagu and those that appear
to be of his brother Walter.

A lot of history on that door, too bad it doesn't talk because a lot of histories it will say! Vote
