St Augustine’s Abbey

Above is Westminster Palace on the left—(now also called Parliament) If you look to the right of Big Ben you will see two churches side by side–smaller one is St. Margarets and has been Parliament’s church for some time and the taller with the two towers is West Minster Abbey. Oh and the water is the Thames. Any more questions?
Edward the Confessor (1042- 66) eventually named a saint by the Catholic Church (and the only English King ever named one) —Began his reign by building the Abbey here—at the time the area here was an island— he also built the original Palace as well—they have been built, rebuilt and more since then but it was his vision that placed them here.
By the way it was the heir-less ruler that’s death left the vikings, a king maker and the Normans fighting for the Island control (the big one–not the one the abbey was on—though that was definately included, but the big England on and of course Edward’s crown.
