Church of St Nicholas, Bathampton

The "Australia Chapel" in the south aisle contains memorials to the Allen family and to Admiral Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales.[12][13] Phillip was buried in the church after his death in 1814 and although it was unnoticed for many years, the grave was discovered in 1897 and the Premier of New South Wales, Sir Henry Parkes, had it restored. However, in 2007, Geoffrey Robertson QC alleged that Phillip's remains may no longer be in St Nicholas': "...Captain Arthur Phillip is not where the ledger stone says he is: it may be that he is buried somewhere outside, it may simply be that he is simply lost. But he is not where Australians have been led to believe that he now lies."[14] The windows of the sanctuary carry the coat of arms of the Federal Government and the six Australian States.[15]

Buried in the churchyard is the body of Adolphe, Viscount du Barry, a French aristocrat and close friend of Madame du Barry, Louis XV's mistress. The Vicomte was living in Bath when he was killed in a duel with Captain Rice, an Irish adventurer.[16]

Other notable local figures, such as Walter Sickert, are also buried in the churchyard, with many of the other chest tombs designated as listed buildings.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]
