The Prophesy

"According to tradition, in 1587 an old man named Austin Ringwode, who had formerly been employed by the Abbey, prophesied on his deathbed that Glastonbury would be reborn and then "peace and plenty would for a long time abound." The rebirth began (if in ways that Austin Ringwode hardly foresaw) in the twentieth century. The extraordinary spell of the place began to work again." Geoffrey Ashe

"This is the enduring prophecy of Albion repeated by Blake and renewed by Eliot The last of the Glastonbury monks, Austin Ringwode, prophesied on his death bed: "The Abbey will one day be repaired and rebuilt for the like worship which has now ceased; and then peace and plenty will for a long time abound".
