Westminster Abbey

W.A was founded in the 11th century. It is a  fine  Gothic  building,  which
stands opposite the Houses of Parliament. It is the work of many  hands  and
different ages. The oldest part  of  the  building  dates  from  the  eights
century. It was a monastery – the West Minster. In the 11th  century  Edward
the Confessor founded a great Norman Abbey. One of the  greater  glories  of
the Abbey is the Chapel of Henry VII. The Chapel is of stone and  glass,  so
wonderfully cut  and  sculptured  that  it  seems  unreal.  There  are  many
tombstones, monuments and statues in the Abbey. For nearly  1000  years  all
the Kings and Queens of England – 41 in all – have been crowned here.  If  u
go past the magnificent tombstones of kings and queens, some  made  of  gold
and precious stones u will come to the Poets’  Corner.  There  many  of  the
greatest writers were buried.  Geoffrey  Chauser,  Samuel  Johnson,  Charles
Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling.  Burns  and  Byron,
Walter Scott and the great American poet Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow.  Here
in  the  Abbey  there  is  also  the  Grave  of  the  Unknown  Warrior  that
commemorate the men who died on the First World War.
