Westminster Abbey is a Gothic church in
central London, officially the Collegiate
Church of St Peter. It was built 1050-1745
and consecrated under Edward the Confessor in
1065. The west towers are by Nicholas
Hawksmoor, completed after his death 1745.
Since William I nearly all English monarchs
have been crowned in the abbey, and several
are buried there.
