exploration and the project which led to the building of the replica
Tudor ship, on which we made an enjoyable 'cruise ' in July 2014 - and
his efforts to ensure that the heraldry and vexillology used are as
correct as possible for the period. |

PARKING in central Bath can be difficult - and
expensive. The nearest long-term parking is in the Underground Car park
under the Southgate Shopping Centre, but visitors to Bath, coming by
car, are strongly recommended to use one of the four park-and-ride bus
services - which all stop near the Bus Station, a few minutes walk from
our meeting place. |
