This week I thought I should show some photos I took at the Museum at Glasonbury Abbey along with some of the interesting parts you can see at the Abbey ruins
Glastonbury Abbey
Some of the arches remain with their carvings
The entrance to the Lady chapel has some beautiful carvings around the entrance
On the opposite side the the carvings are no less stunning
Inside the museum some of the remnants of the abbey can be seen like this ceiling rose
The photo does not give much idea as to the side but the base it is laid on is over 2ft square
These are some of the tiles that would have been laid on the floor of the abbey
The oak door was from the abbey along with the cornice
Tomb effigy
Some of the oldest headstones I have seen
More of the finds from around the abbey
Part of a statue that still has paint remaining on it
The crypt of the lady chapel
On the way out of it you pass this sacred well
The abbots kitchen is about the only building still in one piece
Water spout carving
This is the vent in the roof, in the abbey you would have seen a huge ceiling rose like I showed previously
The kitchen, it has four fireplaces for cooking
Take Care
Fantastic photos and mosiacs.

That looks really interesting. The remains of the building are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so interesting, I really want to get to Glastonbury one day (for the festival mind but still...) Thanks for linking up and for sharing your snaps with #MySundaySnapshot.
