Danksound's Musing

By Danksound

St Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey

My daughter sent me a bunch of pictures of the Abbey and area after work and I chose this one. I have copied the notice outside the church below:-

St Margaret's Church
Westminster Abbey
Visitors are welcome to this beautiful church. The present building, consecrated in 1523, is the third on the site. Since 1614
St Margaret's has been the church of the House of Commons.
Windows commemorate Caxton and Milion, who worshipped here, and Raleigh, who is buried in front of the altar, under the glorious window made for King Henry VIll and Catherine of Aragon in c1520.
After about nine hundred years of service as a parish church for the people of Westminster, St Margaret's was placed under the care of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster by Parliament in 1973.
It is still in regular use for worship and for recitals of music.

The extra is the Wolf Moon still out on display this morning.
