Glastonbury Abbey: Archaeology, Legend and Public Engagement

This AHRC-funded Follow-On project was led by Professor Roberta Gilchrist of Reading University and was undertaken in partnership with the Centre for the Study of Christianity and Culture at the University of York. The original 3-year AHRC project, 'The Glastonbury Abbey Archaeological Archive Project (2009-2013), had undertaken a complete analysis of previously unpublished excavations at Glastonbury Abbey, with outputs aimed primarily at academic audiences. This purpose of this Follow-On project was to make this research available in an accessible form to new audiences, including the 100,000+ visitors to Glastonbury Abbey, the local community and the wider public.
