The Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster, to give it its full title, is a Royal Chapel "and a Royal Peculiar, that is, tempt from all jurisdiction other than that of the sovereign herself. It is also a national and imperial shrine where lie buried not only kings and princes, but an immense company of those who have been honored down the centuries for outstanding service in church and state, in the arts and sciences, and in many other fields of endeavor. BACK TO WILLIAM As to the reasons why some of the Saxon kings chose Winchester for their coronation, we can only speculate, but when it was the capital it must have been appropri- ate. When William the Conqueror came over from Normandy $nd seized the throne, there was one place more obviously fitted for his coronation than any other. That was the newly-built church of the Abbey of Westminster, for this church was much the largest that | had ever been built in England (or in Normandy) so far; it was a roy- al foundation and stood almost touching the King's palace; and on foot or by water it could easily be reached from his City of London. The Abbey had been consecrated in December, 1065, and William chose to be crowned in it on Christmas Day in 1066, after de- feating Harold at the Battle of Hastings in the previous October. Whether Harold had been crowned in the Abbey is uncertain. If so, it | was very soon after the death of largely accounts for | being in so many senses a national | | possession. Its unparalleled collec- | | tion of monuments and memorials | |are the tribute of the nation to its | { history. It coming of age as we may suppose. NEW EDIFICE It was some years later that he resolved to replace the church then existing by a new building. The Confessor's church had bee: in the new French style of the 11th century -- what we call the Norman style--and Henry's church which replaced it was in the new French style of the 13th century, modified or, as someone has said, "translated" by an English archi- tect. It is immensely tall; it has a ring of chapels round the East end; and it has the choir to the west of the transepts. All this suited the | monks for whom it was built; it] also suited excellently the corona- tion ceremony. The crossing where the nave, the sanctuary, and the transepts meet made an admirable "theatre" (as it is called) and there the cor- onation and enthronement of the sovereign still take place, It is said that the Abbey has no central spire or tower because t would require the piers on which it would have rested to be much big- ger than they are, and so the view of the Coronation would be block- ed. This opinion has been con- tested, but at least it is certain that Henry III had a coronation church in mind, such as the French kings already had at Rheims.
