Church of St John the Baptist, Glastonbury, Medieval parish church in Glastonbury, England.
The Church of St John the Baptist features a 134-foot west tower constructed from Doulting stone, Street stone, and local Tor burr materials.
The original structure dates back to 1175, with the current building completed around 1428 and the tower added in the 1460s as part of extensive renovations.
The church choir performs regularly in multiple cathedrals across England, maintaining a musical tradition established by Charles Sydenham Ross in 1865.
Visitors find dedicated parking within 250 meters, bicycle storage facilities, and accessible entrances for people with mobility requirements.
A thorn tree in the churchyard, grown from a cutting of the Glastonbury Thorn, provides a blossom sent to the British monarch each Christmas.
