		Prior to the great fire some seventy monks were living and working at Glastonbury, but by the end of the twelfth century this figure had decreased by a third, and remained in the region of 47 for the rest of its days.
		The overall length of the abbey church was some 550ft (167m), but the interior of the nave has now been laid to lawn.
		Despite its urban location, Glastonbury Abbey is an extremely peaceful and enchanting place, a place for reflection, and a place to contemplate the many legends surrounding the Isle of Avalon.
