The Tower


On the top of Glastonbury Tor you will find this tower which was part of a church built in the 15th century. It fell into disrepair after the dissolution of the monastery when the last abbot was hung on the Tor.

Well, I'm glad they at least saved and preserved this remnant. I'm intrigued about abbot now.
