Westminster came into existence in the later Anglo-Saxon period, and by the mid-11th century, when Edward the Confessors great new abbey was built, it was a major royal centre two miles south-west of the City of London. Within a century or so, it had become the principal seat of government in England, and this series of twenty-eight papers covers new research on the topography, buildings, art-history, architecture and archaeology of Westminsters two great establishments  Abbey and Palace.
Part I begins with studies of the topography of the area, an account of its Roman-period finds and an historiographical overview of the archaeology of the Abbey. Edward the Confessors enigmatic church plan is discussed and the evidence for later Romanesque structures is assembled for the first time. Five papers examine aspects of Henry IIIs vast new Abbey church and its decoration. A further four cover aspects of the later medieval period, coronation, and Sir George Gilbert Scotts impact as the Abbeys greatest Surveyor of the Fabric. A pair of papers examines the development of the northern precinct of the Abbey, around St Margarets Church, and the remarkable buildings of Westminster School, created within the remains of the monastery in the 17th and 18th centuries.
