Introduction

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in joining the Glastonbury Abbey team. Glastonbury
Abbey holds a unique place in English history and cultural identity. Its fame was
built upon its rich tradition of legends, linking Glastonbury with the biblical figure of
Joseph of Arimathea, and chivalric figures such as King Arthur and Queen
Guinevere. Glastonbury’s reputation as the earliest Christian church in western
Europe attracted spiritual pilgrims, royal patrons and tremendous wealth.

reasons as diverse as spirituality, myth, legend, exercise, reflection, history and the

This is an exciting period in the life of the abbey. The Abbey Yard development,

other things, improved heritage interpretation and an ambitious programme of
conservation.
