  • Abstract Abbey

    Abstract Abbey

    Here’s an unusual shot of Glastonbury Abbey, looking straight up between some of the highest parts of the ruined abbey. I could go on at great length about Glastonbury Abbey and Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries, but to be honest many other people have written about it before me (and in far more eloquent…
