Yes, William of Normandy, after his conquest of England in 1066, commissioned the construction of several churches and cathedrals. Notably, he ordered the building of Westminster Abbey, which was consecrated in 1065, just before the Norman Conquest, and the Tower of London, which included a chapel. His efforts aimed to establish Norman influence and consolidate power through religious architecture. These structures symbolized the transition of England to Norman rule.
Yes, but not the one seen today - the Abbey depicted is St Peter's Abbey, rebuilt by Edward the Confessor between 1042 - 52 and the first Norman Romanesque church in Britain. The Abbey was then replaced by a newer design by Henry III in 1245, and this is the Abbey of the present day. This is in fact the only known depiction of the Abbey.
Several English monarchs were not crowned at Westminster Abbey, notably King Edward V, who never had a coronation due to his short reign and subsequent disappearance, and King Edward VIII, who abdicated before his planned coronation. Additionally, King Henry III was crowned at Gloucester Cathedral in 1216, and King James II was crowned in Scotland. Other earlier kings, such as those before the Norman Conquest, also had varying coronation sites.
Romsey Abbey was created in 907.
Romsey Abbey was founded by Henrey VII and dedicated too St Mary and St Ethelflæda.
