Sinopse
Características

This booklet catalogues in alphabetical order the architects buried and/or memorialised in the Abbey. Their names are accompanied by brief biographies identifying the high spots of their architectural careers. The Appendix is a plan of the Abbey marked up to show where their graves and/or memorials are to be found.Also included are Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, neither of whom is buried or memorialised in the Abbey. They are deemed to qualify for entry solely because their contributions to the structure of the building are too significant to ignore and may be deemed to constitute their memorials. On the same basis, several of the medieval master masons responsible for the building and extension of Henry III’s church rate a brief mention at the end.
