I\u00a0was joined\u00a0by a loyal four-legged friend and a woman whom I would trust with my life (my Mum and her dog). My band assembled, we drove towards Glastonbury and our destination: the Abbey.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approaching Glastonbury always feels magical, as the Tor looms over the (mostly) flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. A steep hill measuring 158 metres, it is visible up to 40km away. Indeed, it\u00a0was once surrounded\u00a0by water, until the Dutch successfully drained the Somerset Levels in the 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abbey\u2019s normal entrance\u00a0is currently closed\u00a0due to Glastonbury\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburyabbey.com\/town-deal-project.php\">Town Deal Project<\/a>. However, it\u00a0wasn\u2019t hard to find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburyabbey.com\/blogs\/abbey-news\/changes-to-abbey-visitor-access-from-thursday-9th-november.php\">temporary entrance<\/a> on Magdalene Street and there was a ticket office just inside the gate. Admission is \u00a311.00 for adults and \u00a39.90 for students (children go free).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first stop was the caf\u00e9 (naturally &#8211; you cannot have adventures on an empty stomach!). I highly recommend the coffee cake. It was absolutely delicious. There was also water and free treats for the dog, so she was happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information signs around the Abbey aren\u2019t massively detailed, so I would suggest buying a guidebook (priced at \u00a36.00) or popping into the on-site museum first. This will allow you to get a better understanding of what you are looking at, since so much of the Abbey now lies in ruins.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" data-id=\"4481\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/The-previous-location-of-the-high-altar-1024x590.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/The-previous-location-of-the-high-altar-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/The-previous-location-of-the-high-altar-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/The-previous-location-of-the-high-altar-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/The-previous-location-of-the-high-altar.jpg 1275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The former site of the high altar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Glastonbury had a reputation as the earliest Christian church in Europe, attracting pilgrims, royal patronage, and tremendous wealth. In the last decades of the 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, an Anglo-Saxon monastery\u00a0was built\u00a0on the site, and Glastonbury developed into a place of great Christian learning. By time of the Norman Conquest, it was the richest monastery in England.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favourite parts of the Abbey complex is the Abbot\u2019s kitchen. This building dates to 1325-50 and\u00a0is considered\u00a0the finest medieval kitchen in England. It is also one of the most exceptional examples of medieval architecture in the West Country. Unlike many medieval kitchens, which had timber roofs, it has an octagonal stone vault rising to a \u2018lantern\u2019 that provides ventilation. The kitchen is the only building on the site which remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"923\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4487\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Arthur-923x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Arthur-923x1024.jpg 923w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Arthur-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Arthur-768x852.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Arthur.jpg 996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 923px) 100vw, 923px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The supposed site of King Arthur&#8217;s tomb, which brought visitors to the site from the 12th century<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4489\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Later-repairs-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Later-repairs-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Later-repairs-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Later-repairs-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2024\/10\/Later-repairs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Later restoration: &#8216;1969&#8217; engraved on one of the new bricks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The vaulted ceiling means that the Abbot\u2019s kitchen has fantastic acoustics. I can truly attest to this. I was once lucky enough to perform an amateur production of Chaucer\u2019s\u00a0<em>Canterbury Tales<\/em> in this building and sang Machaut\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-zw9qM8lHzg\"><em>Foy Porter<\/em><\/a> as part of the Knight\u2019s Tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glastonbury Abbey met its end when\u00a0it was destroyed by Henry VIII\u00a0in 1539. It was one of the last monasteries to be dissolved. By that time it was the second wealthiest monastery in England (Westminster was first) and had an annual income greater than the king himself. The Abbot, 80-year-old Richard Whiting,\u00a0was hanged\u00a0and quartered on Glastonbury Tor, together with two of his monks. They had been accused of crimes, including treason and robbery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What remains of the Abbey easily allows us to imagine what it would once have looked like. It is a joy to spend a day\u00a0getting lost\u00a0in its 36 acres of grounds and peaceful setting. It has an abundance of history and is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s post is courtesy of Rowenna Langley, an MA student in History at Exeter, and her recent visit to Glastonbury Abbey.
