Westminster Abbey and the Navy, Paperback / softback Book

Westminster Abbey and the Navy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Well over 3,000 people are buried and/or memorialised in Westminster Abbey. Initially, the burials would have been of monks and other members of the Abbey community interspersed with the occasional monarch and members of his or her family, but in time other categories were welcomed in, such as statesmen, diplomats, literary folk, musicians, theatrical figures and the military. Some are grouped in loosely defined areas; thus scientists are mainly (but not exclusively) in range of Sir Isaac Newton’s grave; poets, playwrights and authors are mainly in the South Transept; statesmen are mainly in the North Transept; but the military are spread widely throughout the Abbey. This book brings together the naval figures.
