The Bulletin  

DOUBLE-SIZED JUBILEE ISSUE: 1880-1955  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3912  

Wednesday, February 2, 1955  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission byPost as Newspaper  

F)R many centuries Glastonbury, in the  

heart of Somerset, has been associated  

with the earliest beginnings of Christianity  

in England and the Abbey ruins are today  

visited by thousands of people from many  

parts of the world, just as their fore-  

runners did in the Middle Ages. The  

early pilgrims paid their visits to the  

reputed shrine of St. Joseph of Arimathea  

in pious veneration whereas the modem  

visitor worships perhaps at the shrine of  

antiquity, for the origin of Glastonbury  

is lost in legend and mystery. The Chris-  

tian foundation survived the storms of  

Saxon, Danish and Norman conquest and  

it presents continuity of religious life  

unequalled in any other part of Britain.  

According to legend, St. Joseph of  

Arimathea with eleven companions  

landed in Wales and later wandered into  

Somerset. One Christmas morning they  

reached the Isle of Avalon and there they  

decided to build wattle church on the  

site now occupied by part of the Abbey  

ruins. The first actual record of the  

-Abbey dates from 601 and in succeeding  

years it grew in wealth and importance.  

In 1184, however, most of the Abbey  

was destroyed by disastrous fire, but  

rebuilding on magnificent scale was  

commenced at once and completed in  

1303. After the Dissolution in 1539 the  

Abbey buildings were neglected and were  

later used as stone quarry until pur-  

chased by the Church of England in 1908.  

On the west end of the Almshouse  

Chapel may be seen today the Arms of  

King Arthur. His association with Glas-  

tonbury is mentioned by Tennyson in his  

“Idylls of the King.” According to  

legend King Arthur, after being wounded  

by Mordred, was brought by boat to  

Glastonbury in the hope that he might  

be healed. There he threw his sword  

“Excalibur” into the mere and there he  

died. In the reign of Henry II (1154-  

1189), the coffin of King Arthur and also  

that of his Queen, Guinevere, were dis-  

covered during excavations near the site  

of the old church.  

Standing in solitude in the middle of  

meadow near the Abbey ruins is the  

Abbot’s Kitchen, shown in the accom-  

panying illustration. This splendid  

example of medieval architecture is all  

that remains of the great range of  

domestic buildings that formed the secular  

part of the Abbey. It was built during  

the early 14th century for the purpose of  

preparing food for pilgrims and guests  

and at that time it adjoined the Great  

Hall.
