    WESTMINSTER PART II: THE ART, ARCHITECTURE AND ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE ROYAL PALACE
    WARWICK RODWELL / ‎TIM TATTONBROWN
    Westminster came into existence in the later Anglo-Saxon period, and by the mid-11th century, when Edward the Confessor’s great new abbey was built, it was a major royal centre two miles south-west of the City of London.

    DORCHESTER ABBEY, OXFORDSHIRE
    WARWICK RODWELL
    Dorchester-on-Thames and its abbey have been subjects of antiquarian interest for more than 450 years, and during that time much has been written about them.
