More about this scene
Now around to the south-west side of Glastonbury, where Wearyall Hill lies between the town and the river Brue. The name is a corruption of 'Wirral Hill', a deer-park established by the Abbots. This view, from the north, is across country- side, whereas today the foreground is occupied by housing and an industrial estate. The Glastonbury Thorn on the hilltop left of the wood is missing from the photograph. Although this is said to be the original Thorn, the photograph shows how it needs to be re-grafted every century or so.
