Description - Westminster Abbey: A thousand years of national pageantry by Professor Richard Jenkyns

Westminster Abbey is the most complex church in the world in terms of its history, functions and memories - perhaps the most complex building of any kind. It has been an abbey and a cathedral and is now a collegiate church and a royal peculiar. It is the coronation church, a royal mausoleum, a Valhalla for the tombs of the great, a 'national cathedral' and the 'Tomb of the Unknown Warrior'.

This new edition recounts the story of this iconic building and the role it plays in our national psyche.
