E113. Westminster Abbey May 01, 2025

Show notes

Queen Elizabeth was crowned and buried in 1603 at Westminster Abbey, a large twin-towered Gothic church with a vast interior. Founded over a millennium ago, it is one of the United Kingdom’s most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Many royal marriages and national commemorative events have also been held within its walls. This episode concludes the recounting of my excursion to Southern England in search of the glorious era of Tudor England that helped shape the early exploration and colonization of the North American Continent.
