Dist:0.3km<br/>Situated on Wearyall Hill, this tree is said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who took Jesus' body from the cross and placed it in a tomb. The staff subsequently became a thorn tree and has been a natural shrine for Christians across Europe. However, in December 2010, it was vandalised with its branches lopped off. Hopefully, the tree will grow again in the years to come. The town of Glastonbury can be seen behind the tree.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking across the south of Glastonbury towards the Tor from the spine of Wearyall Hill (spelt in various ways, including Wirral Hill). An interesting drama is going on to the left of the picture - a group of cider-drinking youths are lurking around the Holy Thorn (which is a 1952-planted replacement for the "original" one destroyed by Roundheads in the Civil War), preventing a small group of wary modern-day pilgrims from getting to it. The tree is hung with clouties and other knick knacks.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The church was originally dedicated to St. Benignus or St. Bennings and retained this until the middle of the 17th century. Bishop Benignus was a great friend and disciple of St. Patrick and became his successor. Website http://www.stbens.ukpc.net/

Dist:0.4km<br/>Caps, shorts, satchels and a purposeful stride schoolwards - it looks a bit dated now, but I guess it was slightly idealised even when the sign was new.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking east along Benedict Street (towards the town centre) with the tower of St Benedict's Church dominating the road. St Benedicts school is on the left, hence the old-fashioned "School" sign. The familiar landmark of St Michael's tower on top of the Tor is peeking up above the houses in the centre of the photo.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Good Friday 2008. The cross planted on Wearyall Hill overlooks the moorland to the south of Glastonbury.
