In terms of functional history Westminster Abbey’s is more diverse than most. It has been abbey, pilgrimage church, cathedral; it is now a collegiate church and Royal Peculiar. The foundation document of modern Presbyterianism was written within its walls and its chapter served as a House of Parliament for centuries. This highly original book shows us how to look at this microcosm of history with new eyes.
Richard Jenkyns is Professor of the Classical Tradition, University of Oxford, and author of a number of books including Dignity and Decadence: Some Classical Aspects of Victorian Art and Architecture.
