Bath Abbey Medieval Floor Tiles

3D Model

In August 2018, Wessex Archaeology’s team uncovered this wonderfully preserved medieval floor 2 m below the floor of the present day Abbey church. It comprises of vividly coloured encaustic tiles, located in what would have been the medieval cathedral’s nave.

Wessex Archaeology is part of a team helping to deliver the £19.3 million Bath Abbey Footprint Project. The archaeological works began in 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in 2020. Wessex Archaeology are deploying a suite of cutting edge recording and analytical techniques throughout the project, including the use of photogrammetry to record all excavated areas as 3D models.
