Описание:

Westminster Abbey is primarily a working church and is set up as such; not as a museum. Yet the majority of visitors are not worshippers. They are there to wonder at the magnificence of the building and its history as told by the artefacts on display (e.g. the Coronation Chair) and the plethora of monuments and graves of those memorialised and/or buried there. Unlike a museum, few points of interest are identified by way of labels and, necessarily, only a very small minority of them can be included in a conveniently sized guidebook.

There are over 3,000 people known to have been buried in the Abbey. There are stories behind many of them. This little book concentrates on some of those in the Nave and stories unlikely to be found in the usual guidebooks.

Описание: Originally published in 1908, this study documents the history of the library at Westminster Abbey from 1060 to 1660. The original library was dispersed during the Reformation, and its successor destroyed by a fire in 1694, but the distinguished authors` research on the surviving sources reconstructs a surprisingly detailed account.

Описание:

This is a book intended to bring together all the theatrical figures buried and/or memorialised in Westminster Abbey. Most of them are in Poets' Corner and the South Transept, but there are others dotted elsewhere around the Abbey and particularly in the Cloisters where Aphra Behn, the playwright, and most of the actresses are congregated. A major feature of the book is the spectacular collection of illustrations in the form of photographs of the monuments from the Abbey archive and portraits kindly provided by the Garrick Club. The text incorporates brief descriptions of the characters interspersed with a variety of more or less relevant (some completely irrelevant, but entertaining) anecdotes.

Описание: The Chapel of St Edmund is one of the last chapels on the visitor route around Westminster Abbey and does not feature on the Audio Guide. It is easy to pass by without entering, but it`s worth seeking out because it contains an interesting collection of `residents`,
