WITH towering spires and ornate stonework aplenty – this is how Glastonbury Abbey may have looked in the 15th century.

The images have been created as part of a new project between the abbey and volunteer Henry Bacon, using research generated during previous archaeological and architectural investigations.

“While there is no way to determine the exact historical accuracy of each image, their purpose is to give an indication of the majesty of the medieval Glastonbury Abbey,” a spokesperson said.

The images illustrate three views of the abbey – the Lady Chapel, the North Side and the Cloisters.

“If you’re visiting us this weekend, you’ll find interpretation boards located at each viewpoint featuring a QR code which can be scanned to show an animated version of the image,” the spokesperson added.

“Reimagining Glastonbury Abbey is a trial project exploring the potential uses for AI in heritage interpretation, and we would love to hear your feedback.

“Please speak to the volunteers on site this weekend for a feedback form.”
