Default House Of Gods & House Of Kings

Westminster Abbey is the place of the coronation, marriage and burial
of British monarchs, except Edward V and Edward VIII since 1066.
Visitors can see the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Royal Tombs and
Shrine of Edward the Confessor, the Coronation Chair, Lady Chapel and
Poets' Corner, the Royal Chapels etc. The current building dates
largely from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.

Westminster Abbey's real name is "Collegiate Church of St.Peter at
Westminster." England's most notable statesmen and distinguished
subjects have been given burial in the Abbey since the 14th century.
In the Poets' Corner in the south transept one can find the tombs of
Chaucer, Browning, Tennyson, and other great English poets.

The origins of the Abbey, which is the resting-place of Britain's
monarchs and the setting for coronations and other great pageants, can
be traced to the 13th century. Over centuries parts of it have been
rebuilt or added to. The two towers on either side of the main
entrance, which has made the Abbey a recognisable edifice, was built
in the mid-18th century.

Throughout the world people feel that 'The Abbey', as Westminster
Abbey is affectionately known, is theirs. It is indeed many different
things- burial
