"Kings and Queen have been crowned and buried since 1066 here..." Well, the coronation bit is correct, but royal burials were taking place in the Abbey before 1066. And the Abbey wasn't founded by Edward the Confessor; it was founded in the year 960 by King Edgar (King of England 959-975) who established the monastic Benedictine community of St Peter in Westminster. Edward simply rebuilt the church, as his successor Henry III did once again in the 13th Century. Lesson: if you want to learn English history accurately, you don't learn it from an American.

I had the opportunity to visit. It was so much older looking than these pictures. No pictures were permitted inside, but it is magnificent.

great idea, but for the elevator music....bach, handel or elgar would have complimented the film...instead alas...

"Been the spot for several coronations"?? It's been the venue for the coronation of English and British monarchs since the year 1066!

London, England travel: Westminster Abbey

tomsega commented on 23 Sep 2008

Certainly it is not a Cathedral, but I'm speaking in casual terms - the semantics weren't that relevant. If you regard historic importance above anything else, of course, Westminster Abbey is more significant than many other structres, but I was speaking in specifically architectural terms, and in that sense (not as a *criticism* of the place per se) I'd suggest that there are a fair few more impressive medieval and gothic buildings in the UK, in areas that are now fairly random & insignificant.

ds1868 commented on 23 Sep 2008

But that's not the point! The Abbey was rebuilt by King Henry III as a suitable coronation theatre for future monarchs (and as a fitting monument to his ancestor Edward the Confessor). The Abbey is NOT a Cathedral. It is a Royal building that is the personal property and responsibility of the Soverereign. You cannot, ipso facto, compare it to 'Cathedrals hidden away in random little English towns'. Would you care to illustrate with examples? as your statement here is total and utter rubbish.

tomsega commented on 24 Sep 2008

I'd already provided the examples of Lincoln and Wells, the latter being described by Clifton-Taylor as "the most poetic of the English Cathedrals". I'd add Canterbury and York, too, which might not be so nice but are a considerable number of centuries older than Westminster. If Westminster Abbey is the 'piece de resistance' of British cathedrals, as you seem in imply, then British cathedrals must really pale in comparison to some of the architecture on the continent. Luckily, it's not.

ds1868 commented on 25 May 2008

Not sure what you mean by 'traditional' but all English and British monarchs have been crowned here since 1066 (with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII). There is a reason for this: not only is Westminster the 'Seat of Power' for the UK but the Monarch also technically owns the Abbey - not the Church of England. And the last Royal burial here was George II in 1760: Royal burials now take place at St George's, Windsor Castle - another property owned by the Monarch!

ds1868 commented on 23 Sep 2008

Yes but can you provide examples of 'more impressive medieval and gothic buildings in the UK in areas that are now fairly random and insignificant'??? Do you mean that other medieval churches are larger than Westminster Abbey? Size has nothing to do with it! Can you provide examples then?? I don't think you can, simply because you haven't a clue what you're talking about!

tomsega commented on 21 Aug 2008

Westminster Abbey is impressive for it's history more than it's architecture. Many small cities in England, like Wells or Lincoln, actually have more impressive Cathedrals, despite that they're not famous worldwide. However, somebody coming from America certainly wouldn't have seen anything like it before.

cassandraellen commented on 25 Apr 2011

I loved Westminster Abbey and it was such an incredible place. Sadly though when we went it was an extremly hot day and the abbey was crammed with hundreds of tourists. This shortned my wondering around time greatly but when i am back in august, it will be one of the first places on my list to return too.

tomsega commented on 16 Sep 2008

I didn't mean to suggest that it's unimpressive or overrated; only to highlight to people who might not know any better that there are some equal if not superior Cathedrals hidden away in random little English towns. The palace of westminster is more of an untouchably unique building than the abbey is.

Lesley Loves Travel commented on 12 Jun 2011

@mw2000 You're not, but there are so many people in there at any given time that it's not hard at all to film if you've got a small camera. Also, the people who have to be on the lookout for are easy to spot, because they wear brightly-coloured robes.

ds1868 commented on 16 Sep 2008

Not sure about that. Westminster Abbey has the highest nave in England. It is not the largest of our churches in England but it is certainly one of the most beautiful. And it is the most important, by a considerable distance.

DarisPrayers commented on 20 Sep 2010

Oh wow.Looks like I missed the most beautiful building of all on my trip.Thats saying a lot cause England has some truly beautiful buildings.Thank you so much for sharing this with us.Thats very thoughtful and nice of you.

Hella True commented on 02 Dec 2010

If VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE and HISTORIANS were buried there....i can't believe they actually let you in theree ! SUPRISING. I wonder if you can see her grave ? that her body is actually in there lol.

DoctorX1932 commented on 01 Apr 2010

I don't think they allow you to take photos or videos any more. It is an amazing abbey. Queen Elizabeth 1st is buried there, as well as hundreds of other great people including william wilberforce

ds1868 commented on 24 Aug 2012

It states quite clearly at the entrance to the Abbey and the side chapels that photography and video is not allowed. Westminster Abbey is a living church, not a museum. Show some respect.

prami knowles commented on 12 Sep 2011

i remember that ! 10 yrs ago i was there! i wanted to take pictures ,but it was not allow to! but how come you can video this place ! is it allow now to video n take pictures?
