The Church of St John the Baptist on the High Street in Glastonbury is now the town's main church. Though, in former days, it was much dwarfed by the Abbey, and existed to serve the locals.

It's a fine church, and well worth a visit. Rich in stained glass windows and medieval artefacts, most notable to many people will be the window of Joseph of Arimathaea - holding the cruets of the blood and sweat of Christ that he is said to have brought with him, and accompanied also by the Holy Grail, or the cup of the Last Supper. Alongside him are windows depicting Aristobulus, Simon Zealotes and King Arviragus.

The Vicar of St John's, Maxine Marsh, has brought a revival of the church. One major issue facing them is that she and her parishioners not only run a place of worship but also a heritage site as well. To finance its upkeep there is a plan to redesign some aspects of the church and open it for suitable local events - such as concerts and special gatherings - and to make it more of an inclusive community space.

This has already started. Many days the church is open, and a fine place to go for a quiet cup of tea! If you feel a bit frazzled or want a sit-down in a tranquil environment, go visit the church - and while you're there, say a prayer.
