England: Westminster Abbey Tour


From Armistead Wilson,
Upper School English teacher

Today we had a personal tour of Westminster Abbey and the graves of many famous Brits, including Elizabeth I, Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Darwin, and Handel. We spent a cold but thrilling afternoon at the Tower of London and learned all about the Beefeaters and their jobs as Yeoman Warders. We also toured the Bloody Tower where Sir Walter Raleigh and many others lived as prisoners for years. Off to the theater to see Dirty Dancing! Oxford tomorrow...we're having a wonderful time.
