Background of the Halls It is seldom that one finds a place that captures the imagination. King Arthur's Halls is such a place. It is visited by Arthurian followers from all over the world and it is here the Legend comes together A dreary grey granite building with a slate roof belies the beauty and atmosphere that lies behind it, the only intact building in the world dedicated to the Arthurian legend. King Arthur's Hall was the brainchild of Frederick Thomas Glasscock, retired London businessman who came to Tintagel early in the 20th century and who was captivated by the Legend. He had the wealth to translate his dream into reality and has left us a legacy for all to enjoy. The Halls have featured in films and television programmes about Arthur and have been visited by over 2 million people since they were opened in in June 1933 More information is available from the links below covering various aspects of the Halls
