  19. WESTMINSTER ABBEY Is a Gothic church the size of a cathedral. Itis the traditional site for coronations and burials of British monarchs,in London. The original abbey in Romanesque style, was built by Benedictine monks. Gothic style between 1245 and 1517. Henry VIII added a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary in 1503 (Henry VII Chapel).

  20. Walls painting • The most important wall paintings in the Abbey are from the late 13th century i.e. the figure of St Faith in her chapel and the figures of Christ with St Thomas and St Christopher in the south transept. The series of 14th century paintings of the Apocalypse and the Last Judgement in the Chapter House are the most extensive.

  21. BRASSES • The Abbey has a fine series of monumental brasses dating from the late 13th century onwards. A brass consists of engraved metal plates, shaped and cut to fit into a matrix prepared for them on a tomb. The earliest figure brass in England is that to Sir John D’Abernon, 1277, at Stoke D’Abernon in Surrey. Brasses are important for the history of costume and armour but many were destroyed or melted down at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s and during the English Civil War.

  22. ROYALS & THE ABBEY • Westminster Abbey has always enjoyed close links with the monarchy not least in its unbroken role as the coronation church since 1066.
