All rights reserved. It is believed that a 'religious community' has existed on the site of Westminster Abbey for the past 1,200 years. It was refounded in the 11th Century by Edward the Confessor, and is now noted as an outstanding example of European Gothic Architecture. The Abbey has held every English Coronation for the last 900 years, a tradition which began with that of William I on Christmas Day, 1066. It also contains monuments to many English monarchs, and famous personages.
