This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westminster Abbey is located near the Houses of Parliament and the Thames River in London. It was built in the Gothic style. It has a huge, vaulted ceiling and pointed arches. The aisles are narrow, making the central area (the nave) seem taller, longer, and thinner than it is. There are many stone carvings decorating the abbey. Originally, they would have been brightly colored. Some 3,300 people have been buried in the abbey and its grounds. The building contains monuments, statues, gravestones, and floor slabs bearing the names of the dead. The grave of the "Unknown Warrior," whose remains were brought from Flanders (Belgium) in 1920, is in the center of the nave near the west door. History Monks of the Benedictine order of the Roman Catholic Church first settled on the site of Westminster Abbey more than 1,000 years ago. They built a monastery, or place where they could live and worship. In the 1040s King Edward the Confessor established his royal palace nearby. Edward decided to rebuild the monastery and called it West Minster (Saint Paul's Cathedral, in East London, was known as East Minster at the time). Edward died a few days after the new building was finished. His body was buried in front of the High Altar, although it was later moved. Few parts of the original West Minster remain because it was rebuilt over the years. In the 1200s King Henry III wanted a new cathedral to be built in the Gothic style that was popular at the time. His builders tore down all of the old building except for the nave. The new Westminster was designed as a monastery, a place of worship, and somewhere that monarchs could be crowned and buried. The nave was rebuilt in the same Gothic style beginning in the late 1300s. A chapel built by King Henry VII in the early 1500s was boldly decorated and contains around 100 statues of saints. It has been called one of the most perfect buildings ever constructed. The western towers were the last addition to the building. They were completed about 1745. Other additions, repairs, and improvements to the abbey were carried out over time, including replacement of most of the stained-glass windows. A great deal of repair work was necessary after the abbey was damaged during World War II. In 1965 and 1966 the community of people who use the abbey celebrated its 900th anniversary. They adopted the theme of "One People" to show that although the abbey is a Church of England building, it is also a place that serves all the people of the nation. In 1987 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey a World Heritage site. Page. I.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive and authoritative history that explores the significance of one of the most famous buildings and institutions in England Westminster Abbey was one of the most powerful churches in Catholic Christendom before transforming into a Protestant icon of British national and imperial identity. Celebrating the 750th anniversary of the consecration of the current Abbey church building, this book features engaging essays by a group of distinguished scholars that focus on different, yet often overlapping, aspects of the Abbey's history: its architecture and monuments; its Catholic monks and Protestant clergy; its place in religious and political revolutions; its relationship to the monarchy and royal court; its estates and educational endeavours; its congregations; and its tourists. Clearly written and wide-ranging in scope, this generously illustrated volume is a fascinating exploration of Westminster Abbey's thousand-year history and its meaning, significance, and impact within society both in Britain and beyond.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Story of Westminster Abbey Readers of this little volume must not expect to find in it a full description of the Abbey buildings, or a complete list of all the tombs, monuments, and other beautiful and interest ing things in the Abbey Church. That is not the aim of this book. Its chief object is to point out to British children how they may follow the great outlines of their country's history in Westminster Abbey, from the earliest ages down to our own time, - from the days of the far-off, legendary King Lucius to those of King Edward VII. The words, citizen of no mean city, ought surely to come into our minds as we look round the Abbey and see there, as we clearly can see, a kind of outward expression of all that is best in our national character.
