  • Glastonbury Abbey – Archaeology, Spirit and Legend
    RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT Glastonbury Abbey – Archaeology, Spirit and Legend Glastonbury means different things to different people. Many Christians believe that it’s the site of the earliest church in Britain, allegedly founded in the first century by Joseph of Arimathea. For others, it’s the epicentre of the New Age community in Britain, drawn by Glastonbury’s rich mythic associations with King Arthur. And now, thanks to the work of a Reading academic, the Abbey’s history has been brought to life and its future secured. A partnership between Professor Roberta Gilchrist and the trustees of Glastonbury Abbey has harnessed archaeological archives to ask new research questions, making for better understanding and conservation of the heritage site and creating an enhanced visitor experience. Glastonbury Abbey is internationally renowned as both the site of the earliest church in England and the legendary burial place of King Arthur. It attracts nearly 100,000 visitors every year, but until recently its archaeological story remained untold. Extensive excavations took place at the Abbey between 1904 and 1979 but these remained unpublished, fuelling contested opinions about date of origin, legend and historical fact. Understanding of the Abbey’s archaeology was impeded, limiting approaches to interpretation and conservation. It was also a barrier to economic growth for the heritage site, shutting the door on permissions from the statutory authorities for any new excavations or developments. www.reading.ac.uk/research/impact October 2018 But this challenge also provided rich opportunity for research collaboration and co-creation. The Abbey’s secrets could be unlocked, to enhance the quality of interpretation, enrich visitor experience and support the development of new visitor facilities.

  • River Brue's Historic Bridges by David Jury
    River Brue’s Historic Bridges By David Jury The River Brue’s Historic Bridges In his book "Bridges of Britain" Geoffrey Wright writes: "Most bridges are fascinating, many are beautiful, particularly those spanning rivers in naturally attractive settings. The graceful curves and rhythms of arches, the texture of stone, the cold hardness of iron, the stark simplicity of iron, form constant contrasts with the living fluidity of the water which flows beneath." I cannot add anything to that – it is exactly what I see and feel when walking the rivers of Somerset and discover such a bridge. From source to sea there are 58 bridges that span the River Brue, they range from the simple plank bridge to the enormity of the structures that carry the M5 Motorway. This article will look at the history behind some of those bridges. From the river’s source the first bridge of note is Church Bridge in South Brewham, with it’s downstream arch straddling the river between two buildings. Figure 1 - Church Bridge South Brewham The existing bridge is circa 18th century but there was a bridge recorded here in 1258. Reaching Bruton, we find Church Bridge described by John Leland in 1525 as the " Est Bridge of 3 Archys of Stone", so not dissimilar to what we have today, but in 1757 the bridge was much narrower “barely wide enough for a carriage” and was widened on the east side sometime in the early part of the 19th century. Figure 2 - Church Bridge Bruton Close by we find that wonderful medieval Bow Bridge or Packhorse Bridge constructed in the 15th century with its graceful slightly pointed chamfered arch.

  • Monastic Scribe VI: July 9, 2021 SUCCISA VIRESCIT
    Monastic Scribe VI: July 9, 2021 SUCCISA VIRESCIT If there is anyone who can translate the above title, no less pronounce it, and knows whose motto it is, deserves to receive a plenary indulgence. But I won’t keep you in suspense. The two words translate, “Cut down, it will be green again.” It is the motto of the Abbey of Monte Cassino in Italy which Saint Benedict (480 – 547) founded around 520. It has been destroyed three times but each time became green again through rebuilding. We are heirs of Saint Benedict whose feast day we celebrate this year on Sunday, July 11th. I write in his honor. Monasticism has been found to exist in most religious traditions. Sometimes a particular monastery dies out, or is suppressed for lack of numbers, financial reasons, or, as under Henry VIII, because monasteries were a threat to the new Anglican separation from Rome. Monasticism always endures but individual monasteries may cease to be. Right now monasteries face a time of crisis in Europe and the United States. Vocations are rare and many communities have mostly elders, or a few monks at best. I know of at least six Benedictine monasteries in the United States which have closed in the past twenty years. There are also some Cistercian monasteries that have folded. What is the future of monasticism? In Benedict’s mind (RB 58) a newcomer to a monastery is to be tested to see “whether he (she) truly seeks God.” This is shown in devotion to the Liturgy of the Hours, to obedience, and to ability to deal with difficulties.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • The Abbot's Kitchen, Glastonbury Abbey
    The Abbot’s Kitchen, Glastonbury Abbey The Abbot’s Kitchen at Glastonbury is one of the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe. It dates from the early 14th century and is a square structure with an octagonal stone tiled roof rising to a two-stage octagonal lantern louvre which let out the heat. It has unusual round buttresses on all four sides. The lantern has two tiers of window-like vents, each with a crenelated parapet. The vents originally had vertical iron window bars in them. Inside, it has an arched fireplace in each of its four corners. The chimney breasts over fireplaces extend diagonally across the corners such that the internal space above this level is also octagonal. The chimney breasts are flanked by tall ribs supporting the stone roof. Sockets for timber scaffolding used during the kitchen’s construction can still be seen to each side of the ribs about halfway up. One fireplace has an oven at its rear. Above each fireplace is a round chimney flue. These originally led into tall chimneys at each corner of the roof, now lost. The 8 ribs supporting the roof rise to a circular flue with smaller compartments around its outside. The flue continues upward to the top stage of the louvre, whilst the smaller compartments reach only to the height of the lower vents. Whether the two-staged arrangement provided some functional advantage is uncertain and a topic of debate. A sump pit which survives in one corner was used to carry away waste liquids. Drains leading to the pit would have brought running water to flush it clean.

  • Glaston Abbey
    ABBEY. RY BU GLASTON ^tastoiikrjj: ©he |luins.' BY JAMES PARKER, M.A., F.G.S. The following summary of the lecture includes the observations made on the spot, together with further historical details^ and references to the sources from which they are obtained. S. JOSEPH’S CHAPEL. ~T NEED not dwell upon the details of the legends of the early churches of Glastonbury: how Joseph of Arimathea is said to have built a church here of wood in a.d. 63, in honour of the Blessed Virgin; and how Phaganus and Diruvianus built another of stone, in honour of S.S. Peter and Paul, in A.D. 166 ; how S. David built another, and King Ine a fourth, though at this point, as I have already said in my lecture of this morning, we pass from the region of legend into that of history. In one of the passages in William of Malmesbury’s treatise “ De antiquitate Glastoniensis Ecclesiae,” ^ it is implied that all four churches were erected on different sites, in a line (2) with one another, from west to east ; but on the other hand, it seems that there standing (3) were only the two churches in his time [c. 1130], and that what he has written of the position of the other two is derived only from legend. That which seems to stand out clear from amidst a mass of vague and incredible statements, is that an early wooden church was built here, and was for long preserved as an object of (1).

I find it to be much the same in both, viz. thinly hairy. Many continental authors derive a character from the petioles, say- ing of P.

I am convinced, however, that no reliance can be placed on this. Perhaps the shape of the adult leaves and the suckers of P. Cerasus afford the best characters. [P. PADUS, L.
