The great church of Glastonbury Abbey reimagined (animation and commentary)

[@puyi]

very glad to see you’re back

Most enjoyable and informative. I have known Glastonbury for many years and tried to imagine it on the eve of the Dissolution. Many thanks. PS How about Reading Abbey?

[@stainedglassattitudes]

Reading is a great suggestion, so much I have already done one! But with someone else's model scaled as best I could (it doesn't fit exactly over the S transept remains). vimeo.com/728643883 I was thinking of recutting it for an upright KZbin short but needs a bit of thought to keep the labels in frame. Really it should be made from scratch again but I'd rather try somewhere else.

I discovered your channel last year, binge watched all of your videos and feared you'd never post again. Happy to see you've returned ! With a great video also. (Also concerning the "car method" to scale G-Earth models, I'd be careful with those Washington cars... They've swollen significantly in the last decades)

[@stainedglassattitudes]

yeah I did consider a "big American cars" joke there. Even if there is a limit how wide a car can be I think US ones can be wider. But it is funny when the mundane things tie up. The actual way I scaled it was by measuring the ridge of the high roof (136 m) then finding two points on the Glastonbury environs that are that length apart.

Has any archeology been done to see if any traces of burnt wood exist below the level of the stone? Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire would be an interesting virtual rebuild.

[@stainedglassattitudes]

Should've mentioned it but the problem is the lady chapel was dug out for a retrofitted crypt (why you have all the walkways in today), almost certainly under Abbot Beere to try and recover the ground where Joseph of Arimathea walked. Ironically this potentially destroyed any archaeology of any timber post-holes etc of the Old Church. research.reading.ac.uk/glastonburyabbeyarchaeology/digital/the-lady-chapel-c-1185-1539/chapel-of-joseph-of-arimathea/
