'Glastonbury Tor'

This woodblock-style print is of Glastonbury Tor, a natural feature rising some 500 feet above the watery Somerset Levels, has been a sacred site since before the Romans came.  It is the home of Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies and Lord of the Otherworld.  It is Ynys Avallach or Ynys yr Afalon, the Isle of Avalon.  It was Merlin’s stronghold and where the sword Excalibur was forged.  Some say it contains an ancient maze.  Some believe the Tor is Ynys Wydryn, or Ineswitrin, the Isle of Glass.  At the Tor’s base, under the Chalice Well, Joseph of Arimithea, the Jew who arranged for the burial of Jesus, is said to have buried the Holy Grail.  On nearby Wearyall Hill, Joseph’s staff is said to have blossomed into the Glastonbury Thorn.  The song Jerusalem is said to have been based on a legend that Jesus visited Glastonbury as a child. And so on. One thing we do know for sure is that Glastonbury Tor was where the last Abbot of Glastonbury was cruelly executed. (thanks to https://bitaboutbritain.com/about/)
