Glastonbury, now famous
for so many things, was the home of the biggest Benedictine
Abbey in England before the Reformation. Its last Abbot,
Blessed Richard Whiting, was martyred on the top of
the Tor, a site with ancient religious associations.
Although the shortage of local stone has left little
standing in the way of ruins, it is for us a powerfully
evocative place.
For the modern visitor,
it is most famous for the wonderfully conceived Abbot’s
Kitchen.
