EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of The Abbots Kitchen, nestled beside the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset, England. The Abbey, believed to be the first Christian sanctuary in Britain, dates back to the 10th century and is steeped in history and legend. In this image, taken in the 1930s, a woman can be seen sitting on the lush, green lawn, playfully engaging with a curious cat. The tranquil setting, with its picturesque ruins and the gentle touch of nature, transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the lives of the monks who once inhabited this sacred place. The Abbots Kitchen, a part of the Abbey complex, was where the monks prepared their meals and where the Abbot would entertain his guests. The ruins of Glastonbury Abbey continue to be a popular tourist destination and a source of fascination for those interested in history, mythology, and the Arthurian legend. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and the enduring allure of this mystical place.
