WESTMINSTER ABBEY, ENGLAND'S HALL OE FAME, AND THE WESTMINSTER COLUMN 



The most celebrated shrine of the English-speaking people dates from 1049. Many of 

 the world's greatest benefactors are buried within its walls, where Washington Irving says, 

 "We feel that we are surrounded by the congregated bones of the great men of past times, 

 who have filled the earth with their renown." The column commemorates the Old Boys 

 of Westminster School who fell in the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Near by 

 stands a copy of the Saint Gaudens bronze statue of Lincoln, unveiled in 1921. (See interior 

 views on pages 68, 69, and 70.)
