St. Patrick's Chapel, Glastonbury
Building in Somerset, England
St. Patrick's Chapel in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, is housed within the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey, and was completed in 1517. It is a site of pilgrimage and dedicated to Saint Patrick due to it being close to a possible site of his burial. It sits within the scheduled Ancient Monument area and is a Grade II listed building. The Stained Glass and wall painting are the results of a renovation. Saint Patrick is depicted twice within the chapel, once within the stained glass behind the altar which shows him in his traditional green robe standing above a snake and another on the wall which depicts him with a wolfhound. Weekly services are still held within the Chapel and it 'has been witness to 500 years of Christian worship.'[1]
