In 1191, here at Glastonberry
Abbey, the resident monks claimed to have a vision in
which they learned that the legendary King Arthur and
Guinevere were buried at this location.

Also located at Glastonberry
Abbey is this thorn tree, under which I sit, next to St.
Patrick's chapel. Tradition states that this tree grew
from a cutting from the tree which allegedly sprouted on
Wearyhall Hill when Joseph of Arimathea planted his staff
into the ground.

Located in Bath, England is
the Roman Bath Museum which was built upon the original
Roman baths from the first century A.D. The original
Roman paving and lead base is still evident as are the
hot springs, which are still enjoyed today.

While in Bath, I also visited
Bath Abbey where Edgar the First, king of a united
England, was crowned in 973 A.D. Note the angels
ascending and descending the ladders on either side of
the Abbey doors.
