The abbey has been witness to a varied range of histories of Britain, such as the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, to the nation’s coronation site since 1066 with the crowning of William the Conqueror.
The church’s ground also holds the graves of Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, Dr. Samuel Johnson and Charles Darwin. So from heroes to villains, poets and priests, all have a mark here. Don’t forget to explore the Little Cloister, which leads to the oldest garden in England!
