He walks through the legend of Glastonbury's founding, tracing the story of Joseph of Arimathea arriving in England with the chalice after the crucifixion. According to tradition, a pagan chieftain granted twelve hides of land for the first Christian church, a small round chapel built at the center of a sacred square. What stands out is the continuity: as each structure decayed over centuries, the monks rebuilt it, carrying the original dimensions forward into every iteration. The geometry was preserved across generations, from wood to wood to stone. Whether the legend is literal history or symbolic memory, the pattern itself became the sacred inheritance, encoded in measurement and passed down through reconstruction after reconstruction.
