Old Beckery Road

Highlight • Settlement

Beckery (also Little Ireland) is an area within Glastonbury. It was once the main industrial area of the town. The area is said to have been visited by Saint Brigid of Kildare in the 4th or 5th century.

Beckery was once the main industrial area of Glastonbury and was home to Beckery Mill, which later became Baily's Tannery and Glove Factory. It was fed by a stream connected to the River Brue that also powered the Northover mill which was owned by Clarks, Son and Morland, who moved from their old site in Street to the area near to Beckery in 1870. The site in Northover was originally built while Richard Beere was the Abbot of Glastonbury (1493–1524), a medieval mill was built around 1517. After taking on the Grade II listed buildings in 1870 - It ceased trading in 1925

St Margaret's Chapel and Almshouses

Highlight • Religious Site

This group of buildings dates back to around the 11th Century, when Glastonbury was a major pilgrimage destination. It was at first a Hospital for up to 13 sick men with a Chapel (all paid for by Queen Margaret of Scotland).
Two rows of Men’s Almshouses replaced the Hospital in the 16th Century, but one row was demolished in the 1960s – its foundations are under the garden.
The Mary and Margaret Charity completed a large refurbishment and repair programme in 2012, including a new stone courtyard wall and disabled access WC, and a new West garden.
