The lily is one of the few flowers named in the Old Testament of the Bible. In Hebrew it is ‘shoshan’ or ‘shoshannah’, from which the names Susan and Susannah derive. In the language of flowers, the lily stands for beauty and purity. #FolkloreThursday

Have you ever wondered what the Abbey used to look like? This is a reconstruction drawing of the Norman Abbey and Palace. In the 1040s, King Edward (later St Edward the Confessor) established his royal palace by the banks of the River Thames on land known as Thorney Island. Close by was a small Benedictine monastery, founded under the patronage of King Edgar and St Dunstan around 960 A.D., which came to be known as the 'west minster'.
