EDITORS COMMENTS
The Henry VII Lady Chapel, a magnificent architectural masterpiece located at the far eastern end of Westminster Abbey, is a testament to the grandeur and piety of King Henry VII. This large Lady Chapel, separated from the main body of the abbey by brass gates and a flight of stairs, was paid for according to the king's will. Henry VII's chapel is a significant addition to the historic abbey, showcasing the Tudor architectural style and intricate craftsmanship of the late 15th century. The chapel's separation from the rest of Westminster Abbey adds an air of exclusivity and reverence, making it a fitting place for royal burials and private worship. The brass gates, adorned with intricate designs and the royal coat of arms, serve as a barrier between the sacred space and the outside world. The flight of stairs leading up to the chapel entrance further emphasizes the importance and significance of the space. The interior of the chapel is equally impressive, with its stunning fan-vaulted ceiling, ornate stone carvings, and beautiful stained glass windows. The chapel is also home to several notable tombs, including those of Henry VII and his wife, Elizabeth of York, as well as their daughter, Princess Margaret Tudor. The Henry VII Lady Chapel is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Westminster Abbey, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of the Tudor period. Its separation from the main abbey adds to its allure, making it a unique and special place within the historic site.
