Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey is among the oldest and most historically significant churches in the British Isles, having been a centre for Royal ritual since 1066. It has hosted 40 Coronations while its crypts house 18 English and Scottish Monarchs.
Alongside the tombs of Kings however the Abbey also serves as a burial place for many of the most significant figures in British History. This practice began with the lavish funeral of Sir Isaac Newton in 1727, and since this date over 3000 warriors, poets and scientists have been laid to rest below its marbled halls or honoured by the monuments that line them.
Westminster Abbey stands as an almost untouched Shrine to the achievements of the British Peoples and it has been described by the poet William Morris as a "National Valhalla".
