I'll taken this picture several times in the past, but it never dawned on me until now to have the nearby hospital building as a backdrop that extends to three edges of the cropped photo.

The Glastonbury Thorn is a variant of the more common hawthorn we see in hedgerows today. It was first mentioned in the sixteenth century. This shrub was unusual in that it flowered twice a year, once at Christmas, whereas the usual hawthorn only flowers once in early Spring.
The original Glastonbury Thorn was cut down and burned by Cromwellian troops during the English Civil War. Several Glastonbury Thorns still survive, two in St John's Parish Church from which sprigs are cut and sent to the Queen, a tradition that started by the Bishop of Bath and Wells under James I's reign.
