Cheddar Cheese
Cheese connection
It was St Dunstan, arriving in Somerset in AD 945 as the new abbot of Glastonbury, who introduced cheese-making to the area. The earliest confirmed occupation of the site of Westminster Abbey was a Benedictine Abbey set up by St Dunstan in the 960s.
Cheese supply
Scott of the Antarctic took 3500 lbs of cheddar cheese on his famous expedition of 1901.
