Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large abbey church located west of the Palace of Westminster, in Westminster, London. It is the traditional home of coronations for monarchs of the United Kingdom, as well as burials and royal weddings.
==History==
Initially a Saxon church, it was rebuilt by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century. The architecture adopted a more style to show the King's gratitude to God and the Pope. When Henry III of England ascended to the throne a few hundred years later, the church was rebuilt once more as a tribute to Edward the Confessor, this time in style. To fund this endeavor, the King had to divert funds from the kingdom, to the populace's displease.Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – Database: Westminster Abbey
In 1661, during the coronation of King Charles II, he noticed his general George Monck speaking with a man holding an Apple of Eden, but had to bow his head to receive his crown from the Archbishop before he could look further.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy – Holidays: Chapter 1 – Ghosts of Christmas Past
In 1868, the abbey was targeted by Harrison Harley, a member of the Blighters gang who sought to burn the church to the ground. Before he could enact this plan, however, he was kidnapped by the twin British Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye, who delivered him into police custody, thereby saving the ancient church from destruction.Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – Harrison Harley (memory)
