About the Abbey
An architectural masterpiece of the 13th to 16th centuries, Westminster Abbey has become a treasure house of artefacts. This is also the coronation church where some of the most significant people in Britain's history are buried or commemorated.
The King Charles III Sacristy
We're constructing a new building - named in honour of HM The King - to transform the welcome we offer to the millions of people who come to the Abbey to enjoy one of the world’s great churches.
