About This Book

Aimed at young readers, the volume traces the foundation and building of Westminster Abbey and uses the church and its surroundings as a guide through national history. It describes coronations and royal monuments, the graves and memorials of poets, statesmen and scientists, architectural features such as cloisters, the chapter house and royal chapels, and the surviving monastic buildings and wax effigies. Short chapters survey notable abbots, the abbey school, and changes across centuries, inviting children to read political, religious, and cultural developments in the stones and monuments of the place.
