Westminster Abbey

Important Gothic building and place of worship, Westminster Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is also the final resting place of many of the most significant people in Britain's history, including seventeen monarchs.

A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, the Abbey also houses important collections of archives, printed books and manuscripts belonging to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.
