Summary

Glastonbury, with the distinctive landmark of the Tor, is a familiar name to many. Its fame lies not simply in its renowned festival, but in its legendary associations with King Arthur and with Joseph of Arimathea, whose staff was supposed to have grown into Glastonbury Tor. Philip Rahtz has excavated extensively in and around Glastonbury, and disentangles the myths from the truths, giving a comprehensive survey of this remarkable place from the earliest times to the present day.

Author Biography

Philip Rahtz is an eminent archeologist who led key excavations of Glastonbury Tor in 1964 and 1966. Lorna Watts is a fellow archaeologist at the University of York.
