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.
Support Us
Support from our visitors and donors helps us care for the Abbey and keeps us open as a living working church. We are independent and receive no funding from the Church, the Government or, the Crown. So, your help really counts.
