Batheaston is a village and civil parish 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the English city of Bath, on the north bank of the River Avon.

Distinguished contributions were received from the likes of David Garrick, Christopher Anstey and the poet Anna Seward.

The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning.

The parish falls within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset which was created in 1996, as established by the Local Government Act 1992.

Local newspapers and national journals of the time report that three skeletons were found in the hole, along with a James II coin, during the work.

The village is on the route of the Limestone Link, a 36 miles (58 km) long-distance footpath from the Mendip Hills in Somerset to Cold Aston in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire.

The west tower which has four stages with a pierced embattled parapet, setback buttresses, projecting octagonal stairs, and a turret at the south-east corner which terminates in a spirelet, was rebuilt in 1834 by John Pinch the Younger of Bath.

It has pointed perpendicular two-light windows with cusped heads and the east side has a canopied niche containing a figure, probably St John.

[14] The Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, in the Diocese of Clifton, was built in 1967 in the brutalist architecture style, with an internally colourful large translucent window made of Kalwall (a type of polycarbonate).

[16][17] The Riverside studios in Batheaston have been used by several musicians to record their albums, including Mighty ReArranger by Robert Plant.

[20] The house was home to Mary Blathwayt and her family and became an important refuge for suffragettes who had been released from prison after hunger strikes, with trees being planted to commemorate each woman.
