St Mary the Virgin's Church, Bathwick

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is located on Darlington Street in the Bathwick area of Bath, Somerset, England.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin was where the band Muse recorded the organ parts on their second studio album Origin of Symmetry.

William Vane, Earl of Darlington, as a patron, provided a site at the lower end of Bathwick hill for the construction of a new church with John Pinch in charge of the design.

On 4 February 1820, St Mary the Virgin was officially consecrated as the place of divine worship for the parish of Bathwick.

– The original altar painting, an Adoration of the Child by Benjamin Barker, hangs high up against the W wall.

The musical tradition of the church dates back to the late 1800s when the Oxford Movement's influence caused the establishment of a robed choir.

In the 1990s and into the new millennium the standards once again rose, and the choir of St. Mary's came to be held in high regard, making several recital tours within the UK and abroad, and broadcasting on radio and television.
