About Ailnoth

“Nurturing the foundations of business: secure finances, supportive business systems and strong leadership”

The Name

The company is named for the last saxon abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, Abbot Æthelnoth. He had a reputation for fair-mindedness and sound management of the Abbey’s affairs. Ailnoth is an alternate spelling of the name.

The Company

The company’s Head Office is at Priory House in Glastonbury, opposite the world-famous Abbey ruins and directly facing the ‘Abbot’s Kitchen’:
