Glastonbury Abbey
Glastonbury Abbey was a large Benedictine monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Founded in the early medieval period and rebuilt through the Middle Ages, its extensive church, cloisters and subsidiary buildings made it one of England's richest abbeys before its suppression in 1539; substantial masonry ruins remain in a grassy monastic precinct open to visitors.

As it stood in 1350
What Glastonbury Abbey looked like in its prime.
A sprawling medieval stone monastery set within a wide grassy precinct with scattered foundation walls and intact ranges of high masonry. The abbey church shows long nave and aisle walls with tall pointed arched windows and deep mullioned openings, a square central tower rising above the crossing, buttressed east and west ends, and an adjacent cloister of columned arcades around a planted garth; ashlar and rubble limestone surfaces weathered to pale grey, roofs of the main ranges in lead or tile.
