Glastonbury Town
The Market Cross in 1905, looking towards the bottom of the High Street. To the right, from the bottom of the picture lies Magdalene Street. This site is now saturated with road markings and signs
Benedict Street, again c.1905 with the church of St. Benignus. The fork to the left leads to the bottom of the high street in the previous picture
In Magdelene Street, opposite the Abbey ruins, is Magdalene Close. The picture shows the entrance to the small chapel which served nearby almshouses, which were still preserved last time I was there
After the destruction of the Abbey, local people used much of the stone in house building. The figure of the lamb with cross above this house in Chilkwell Street has since been returned, I have been told Return to Glastonbury Index
