St John the Baptist church Glastonbury

Despite having been to Glastonbury so many times and seeing the church each time this is the first time I have ever been inside!

it has been described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset" and dated back to the 15th century.

This present church replaced earlier structures. There is evidence of a 12 tbh century church but also some suggestion that a church existed on this site at a significantly earlier date. Legend suggests the original church was built by Saint Dunstan in the tenth century and more excavations have revealed the foundations of a large central tower that possibly dated from Saxon times.
