St Dunstan (909-88 AD) developed the ancient church at Glastonbury into the first Benedictine monastery in England and was later Archbishop of Canterbury for twenty-eight years. A man of prayer, scholar, artist and musician, his influence touched many areas of English life, helping to lay the foundations of Church and society in medieval times. As St Dunstan left little of his own in writing, his vision has to be inferred from contemporary documents and works of art, which reveal him as a figure of significant spiritual stature.
