What travelers say:

Reissue point photo: St. Dunstan Church St. Dunstan''''s Church is a place of worship and pilgrimage, and has welcomed tourists and pilgrims from all over the world for more than 800 years. The church's patron is Dunstan, who was once Archbishop of Canterbury and is considered by many to be one of England's greatest saints, and May 19 is St Dunstan's Remembrance Day. In 940, Dunstan became the abbey's abbot, a strict absolutionist who overhauled the abbey and insisted on full compliance with the rules of St. Benedict, under whose leadership the abbey was known for learning. The church dates back to the 11th century. It was associated with the deaths of Thomas Beckett and Thomas More, so it became a pilgrimage site. The treasure of St. Dunstan's church was the bell, which rang from six English styles, with the heaviest bells about 675 kilograms. The oldest bell was cast in 1325 and has a history of nearly 695 years as of 2020. There was a practice of ringing the bells on Friday night, and these bells are still knocking on our hearts today, and it seems that they are saying something.
