Images of Westminster Abbey in London, taken in November 2012.
“Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
“The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs.
“The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.”
