Visiting Westminster Abbey?
There's so much to see and do
It's full title is 'The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster', and it's history goes back to the 960-970's when a fisherman saw a vision of St Peter near the site. There is a strange tradition that Thames fishermen gave salmon as gifts and it is thought this stems back to the vision. In fact the tradition still happens because the Fisherman's Company still give a salmon each year.
In 1042 Edward the Confessor had it rebuilt in order that he could be buried there and it was completed only 1 week before his death in 1066. Coronations have happened there since King Harold in 1066, and of course there are some famous burials including Sir Isaac Newton (1727) Charles Darwin (1882) as well as the poet Chaucer and the musician Purcell.
