St. Edgar's and St. Mary's Chapels, Glastonbury Abbey, c. 1860, by Frank M Good Suggestions that Glastonbury may have been a site of religious importance in Celtic or pre-Celtic times are considered dubious by the historian Ronald Hutton, [1] but archaeological investigations by the University of Reading have demonstrated Roman and Saxon occupation of the site.

New archaeological research on Glastonbury Abbey pushes back the date for the earliest settlement of the site by 200 years – and reopens debate on Glastonbury’s origin myths.
The church sits along Magdalene Street facing the medieval Abbot's Kitchen across the road in Glastonbury Abbey. On the same site once stood the original Catholic church in an old converted stable, which was pulled down in 1938. [2] Behind the church there was once the St Louis Convent school, which operated from 1925 until 1984. [3]
The kitchen was part of the opulent abbot's house, begun under Abbot John de Breynton (1334–1342). It is one of the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe and the only substantial monastic building surviving at Glastonbury Abbey. [5] The abbot's kitchen has been the only building at Glastonbury Abbey to survive intact.
The chapel was built by Abbot Richard Bere who was well known for being a master builder in his time. Construction started in 1512 and was finished five years later. It originally sat next to St. Patrick's Almshouses for women, which were demolished during the Suppression of the Monasteries along with most of Glastonbury Abbey around 1539 after the execution of the last Abbot, Richard Whiting.
