Glastonbury Pagan Moot: Geoff Stray — Glastonbury Underground
Beckets Inn
Religion/Worship
9 Jan 2026
Friday 9 January
In 1908 Frederick Bligh Bond was employed as Director of Excavations at Glastonbury Abbey, and with a psychic medium, secretly used automatic writing to contact the spirits of nine dead monks to aid in locating lost chapels. Two rare articles from Bligh Bond plus the 2014 geophysics survey by Reading University have enabled more clarity on the locations of underground tunnels, and allow a hint at where the lost treasure may be located! Video footage will be shared of subterranean adventures, and a map of the Glastonbury tunnels will be assembled and presented. Also, the results of Adam Morley's 2025 resistivity, ground-penetrating radar and thermal drone surveys of fields around Glastonbury Tor will be revealed.
Geoff Stray is a retired bus driver, writer and classic motorcycle enthusiast who made the first v-twin Panther motorcycle. He has written a book on Glastonbury's tunnels ("Glastonbury Underground"), which is regularly updated as well as another book on local history, "The Long-Lost Glastonbury Sapphire". Other recent works include "Mendip Madness 2" (Laugh-out-loud true stories about the "cider-soaked fruitcakes" that travel on the night buses around Glastonbury) and an 18-year investigation into an obscure astronomical device in a French cathedral: "Chartres Labyrinth - Shining a Light on Lost Knowledge".
