Church of St Swithin, Bath

The Anglican Church of St Swithin on The Paragon in the Walcot area of Bath, England, was built between 1777 and 1790.

[1] The church stands on the site of a previous place of worship dating back to the 10th century, the remains of which are beneath the crypt.

[5] His new church opened in 1777 but was soon too small for its growing congregation, as the city became increasingly popular and expanded well beyond its traditional boundaries.

[6] In 1805 it was the burial place of the writer and poet Christopher Anstey[7] and, in 1831, of Rear Admiral Sir Edward Berry.

In 1840 it was the burial place of the writer Frances Burney; her husband, General Alexandre D'Arblay was buried there in 1818.
