Westminster Abbey
A Guided Tour
by Russell Nash
 

Whether you've been to the magnificent Westminster Abbey before or not, this is a chance to explore it with an expert. It is such an interesting and evocative building. The site of forty coronations, the final resting place of thirty monarchs, the wedding venue for sixteen royal couples and over 3,000 other burials and monuments. We'll meet Jane Austen, Isaac Newton, William Blake, Charles Darwin, Robbie Burns, Noel Coward and many more.
