The Abbot's Kitchen, Glastonbury, 1854. Part of the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset: '...the abbot's garden, an octagonal building of stately dimensions, raised its pyramidal form, and with its vaulted dome and quaint old lanthorn, recalled stories of 'the monks of old,' when sleek abbots and portly friars spent jovial hours in the refectory, discussing capon and pasty, and draining flagons of wine with epicurean gusto'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
