The Bath Chronicle is a weekly newspaper covering the city of Bath. The paper was founded by Cornelius Pope in 1760 from an office in Stall Street, and as today was published on Thursdays. After numerous name changes and office moves over the following 250-plus years, the Bath Chronicle is now based in the heart of the city in James Street West. The paper is edited by Rachael Sugden.The Bath Journal was published in 1743 and was renamed Boddely's Bath Journal. It was renamed Keene's Bath Journal in January 1822 and was eventually taken over by the Bath Herald in March 1916.The newspaper also originated from the Bath Chronicle and Universal Register taking over from the Bath Advertiser which was published from 1755.By 1919 it had changed its name to the Bath and Wilts Chronicle as a result of a merger with another paper.The Bath Herald was merged with the Bath Chronicle in 1925 to become the Bath Chronicle and Herald, amended in 1936 to Bath Weekly Chronicle and Herald.The early 1960s was a time for another minor name change to Bath and Wilts Evening Chronicle.
