It is traditionally the first Christian Sanctuary in Great Britain, visited, so legend has it by Joseph of Arimathea and Saints David and Patrick. Many believe that the Holy Thorn tree that can be seen in the grounds originated from Joseph of Arimathea's staff and others are convinced that King Arthur was buried in the Abbey beside his lovely wife Queen Guinevere. Original parts of the Old Church are reputed to date back to AD63.
