Founded in 1065 by Edward the Confessor, Westminster Abbey has been the site of every Royal Coronation since 1066 (except those of Edward V and Edward VIII) and is the final resting place of many sovereigns, politicians, poets and artists. Burial in the abbey is one of the rarest and greatest honors in Britain.
The nave is over a hundred feet high, the tallest of any church in the country. Behind the High Altar, in the Chapel of Edward the Confessor, the most sacred part of the abbey, rests the Coronation Chair. Coronations and royal weddings have been performed here for centuries.
