About Fencing in Glastonbury
Glastonbury in Somerset is home to one of Britain's earliest Christian foundations, Glastonbury Abbey, a site steeped in legend that has long been linked with tales of King Arthur. In 1191 the abbey's monks announced they had discovered a lead cross in a grave containing two bodies, inscribed with words identifying them as King Arthur and Guinevere, and the remains were later placed in a black marble tomb within the abbey church during a visit by Edward I, though the tomb and its contents were lost during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and have never been found. Modern historians remain sceptical of the 1191 discovery, generally viewing it as a medieval invention rather than genuine evidence, but the legend endures, and some Arthurian writers, including Geoffrey of Monmouth in his 12th century History of the Kings of Britain, identified Glastonbury with the legendary island of Avalon. The dramatic hill known as Glastonbury Tor, visible for miles across the Somerset Levels, remains closely tied to this same body of myth and folklore.
