Comments

  • The current building dates back to the 11th Century although the site was a place of worship around 400 years beforehand. It holds the tomb of King John, Prince Arthur’s Chantry and a 12th Century Chapter House that looks as if it has had some restoration work done recently. There is also St Wulfstan’s Crypt and some medieval cloisters with beautiful gardens (when it’s not raining as it was when I was there).
