Hospital of St Mary Magdalene, Glastonbury, Medieval almshouses and chapel in Glastonbury, England.
The Hospital of St Mary Magdalene features stone buildings arranged in parallel rows with individual dwellings leading into a central chapel structure.
Established around 1310 by Benedictine monks of Glastonbury Abbey, the hospital initially provided accommodation for ten poor men before 1322.
The chapel maintains its religious function with regular Morning Prayer services every Friday, continuing centuries-old traditions of spiritual practice.
Visitors can access the chapel daily between 10 AM and 4 PM without admission fees, while guided tours require advance group bookings.
The restoration project preserved original architectural elements, including a blocked lancet window and a small bellcote for hanging bells.
