Abbot Richard Whiting was hanged, drawn and quartered on Glastonbury Tor in 1539. He was arrested on a charge of treason as King Henry VIII dissolved, or forcibly closed, the country's monasteries. Charlie Taylor talks to Amanda Marshall and Tor Webster, two of the people asking the Queen to pardon him as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
