Many thanks to the amazing Grace Barrett of Tours by Grace for leading us through Westminster Abbey! This week, let’s explore that area of Westminster Abbey known as Poet’s Corner. More than 100 poets/writers are buried or have memorials there. Some of the memorial “squares” on the floor indicate where the person is actually buried if they are not interred in the Abbey. But not all of them. There are also several clergymen and actors buried in this transept, and composer George Frederick Handel. I’ll warn you that you’re going to see a lot of feet in these pictures simply because it was very c ..read more

Many thanks to the amazing Grace Barrett of Tours by Grace for leading us through Westminster Abbey! I’m sure many people have a favorite monument/memorial at Westminster Abbey.

Many thanks to the amazing Grace Barrett of Tours by Grace for leading us through Westminster Abbey! When last I posted, I was still at Westminster Abbey and sharing the graves royals that got the “not so royal” treatment. The last monument I shared was for a non-royal named Ludovic Stewart, who isn’t known for much at all. Stewart’s monument was created by Hubert Le Sueur (1580-1658), a French sculptor who trained with Renaissance artist Jean de Boulogne (known better as Giambologna) in Florence, Italy. Hubert moved to England and spent most of his career there, providing monuments, portraits ..read more
