Look back several centuries to church history via the Westminster Abbey
(http://www.westminster-abbey.org) An architectural masterpiece of the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries,
Westminster Abbey also presents a unique pageant of British history - the Confessor's Shrine, the tombs of Kings and Queens, and countless memorials
to the famous and the great. It has been the setting for every Coronation since 1066 and for numerous other Royal occasions. Today it is still a
church dedicated to regular worship and to the celebration of great events in the life of the nation. Neither a cathedral nor a parish church,
Westminster Abbey is a "royal peculiar" under the jurisdiction of a Dean and Chapter, subject only to the Sovereign.
