Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chapel of St Nicholas is the chapel at the east end of the South Ambulatory of the Abbey. It does not feature on the Abbey’s audio guide, but is of interest for several of the individuals buried here. The only family entitled as of right to be buried in the Abbey is the family of the Duke of Northumberland. The entrance to the Northumberland vault is situated in this chapel. The vault holds 30 members of the family including the father of the founding donor of the Smithsonian Institution and the most recent arrival, the widow of the 10th Duke of Northumberland, who died in 2012. Other families well represented here are the Seymours and the Cecils. The first ‘resident’ to arrive was Philippa de Mohun, Duchess of York, who died in 1431.

Download or read book The Cosmatesque Mosaics of Westminster Abbey written by Warwick Rodwell and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westminster Abbey contains the only surviving medieval Cosmatesque mosaics outside Italy. They comprise: the ‘Great Pavement’ in the sanctuary; the pavement around the shrine of Edward the Confessor; the saint’s tomb and shrine; Henry III’s tomb; the tomb of a royal child, and some other pieces. Surprisingly, the mosaics have never before received detailed recording and analysis, either individually or as an assemblage. The proposed publication, in two volumes, will present a holistic study of this outstanding group of monuments in their historical architectural and archaeological context. The shrine of St Edward is a remarkable survival, having been dismantled at the Dissolution and re-erected (incorrectly) in 1557 under Queen Mary. Large areas of missing mosaic were replaced with plaster on to which mosaic designs were carefully painted. This 16th-century fictive mosaic is unique in Britain. Conservation of the sanctuary pavement was accompanied by full archaeological recording with every piece of mosaic decoration drawn and colored by David Neal, phase plans have been prepared, and stone-by-stone examination undertaken, petrologically identifying and recording the locations of all the materials present. It has revealed that both the pavements and tombs include a range of exotic stone types. The Cosmati study has shed fresh light on every aspect of the unique series of monuments in Westminster Abbey; this work will fill a major lacuna in our knowledge of 13th-century English art of the first rank, and will command international interest.

Download or read book Westminster Abbey The Chapel of St Edmund written by Tony Willoughby and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chapel of St Edmund is one of the last chapels on the visitor route around the Abbey and does not feature on the Audio Guide. It is easy to pass by without entering. Indeed, it is probably the least visited of all the major chapels open to the public. At this stage of a tour most visitors will be keen to take in Poets’ Corner and the not-to-be-missed Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries. Nonetheless, the Chapel contains an interesting collection of ‘residents’, the first arrival being King Henry III’s half-brother, William de Valence in 1296 and the last being Lord Lytton, the popular Victorian novelist, who died in 1837. The Dean of the time thought it appropriate that he be buried here alongside Sir Humphrey Bourchier, rather than in the South Transept with Charles Dickens and the other novelists, because Sir Humphrey, a casualty of the Wars of the Roses, featured as a character in one of Lytton’s novels.
