every royal monarchy coronation ceremony- the first being William the

Conqueror. Next, “On the fiftieth anniversary of the death of C.S. Lewis, Westminster Abbey Institute hosted a

Westminster Abbey- REBUILT???

The year is 1220. King Henry III is at reign (“King Henry III”). Many people say they have heard King Henry saying he wants Westminster Abbey rebuilt to follow the popular gothic style of the middle ages (“Henry III”). One thing is certain, Westminster contains years of history from London, that once rebuilt will no longer remain. The Dean of Westminster told us, “Westminster is like one giant history book for English religion. We’ve got tombs, memorials, ancient documents, and have hosted many royal events. Unfortunately, rebuilding the Abbey will result in our history being destroyed.” Within the next two years, the Abbey will be reconstructed due to King Henry’s orders. The design for the Abbey will make it 225 feet tall (Westminster Abbey). Once the Abbey is rebuilt, it will be bigger, up to date, and will remain for hundreds of years to come.
