English Heritage sites near Glastonbury Parish

Glastonbury Tribunal

GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL

1 miles from Glastonbury Parish

Fine, late 15th century stone townhouse, early Tudor façade and panelled interiors. Home to Glastonbury Lake Village Museum: discover life 2000 years ago when much of Somerset consisted of marshy sea.

Meare Fish House

MEARE FISH HOUSE

4 miles from Glastonbury Parish

The only surviving monastic fishery building in England, this housed the Abbot of Glastonbury's water bailiff and provided facilities for fish-salting and drying.

Muchelney Abbey

MUCHELNEY ABBEY

10 miles from Glastonbury Parish

Once a wealthy Benedictine house, Muchelney’s main buildings were demolished by Henry VIII in 1538. See the richly decorated cloister walk and thatched monks’ lavatory – the only one in Britain.

Nunney Castle

NUNNEY CASTLE

15 miles from Glastonbury Parish

Picturesque moated castle built in the 1370s. Held for the King during the Civil War, falling to Parliamentarian cannon in 1645: the gun-damaged wall finally collapsing on Christmas Day 1910.

Sherborne Old Castle

SHERBORNE OLD CASTLE

16 miles from Glastonbury Parish

Built on a grand scale in the 12th century by the Bishop of Salisbury, Sherborne was coveted by churchmen and noblemen alike giving it a long, chequered history. Picnic, shop, light refreshments.

Stanton Drew Circles and Cove

STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE

16 miles from Glastonbury Parish

Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.


Churches in Glastonbury Parish

St Benedict

Benedict Street Glastonbury Somerset
(01458) 830060
https://stbens-glastonbury.uk/

We are one congregation of three in a benefice with St John's in the High Street, and St Mary's at Meare. We call this group of churches the "Abbey Parishes". Although we are independent churches with separate Church Councils, we all share clergy and resources, and we worship together regularly.

St Benedict's Church building is located near the top of Benedict Street (which continues down from the bottom of Glastonbury High Street). There has been a church on the site since 1091.

The church building was reopened at the end of April 2014 after 7 months of major interior reordering work. What a difference!

Although small in number, we pride ourselves on being warm and friendly, and visitors are always welcome at our services.

We worship in modern language and we try to make it easy to follow. Some parts of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) service are sometimes sung - we alternate between two quite different musical settings, both written by members of our congregation. Our singing is led by our small choir.
