STONE. FAN-VAULTED.  

BECOMES LACEWORK IN  

HENRY VII’S CHAPEL  

/"VNE of the chief glories of Westminster  

Abbey is the Chapel of Henry VII.  

It was built in 1502-1512 and is the finest  

example in Britain of the late-Perpendicu-  

lar style of architecture. The superb fan-  

vaulting of its stone roof has been  

described as miracle of craftsmanship,  

for although it weighs many tons it  

appears to hang like delicate lace  

canopy. Divided into bays filled with  

round fans, hanging lanterns and many  

thousands of traceried compartments the  

roof is triumph of stone-cutting un-  

rivalled for the perfection of its  

sculptured detail.  

No less magnificent are the walls, en-  

crusted with tracery and decorated with  

gallery of elaborate statues of martyrs,  

saints, philosophers and kings. Along  

each side of the nave are the carved stalls  

of the Knights of the Bath, each of which  

has its crest and red and gold sword on  

the front. Hanging above them and  

bringing to the Chapel blaze of colour  

in red, blue and gold are the forty-six  

silk banners of the Knights of the Bath  

whose ancient order was reconstituted in  

1725 by George I.  

In the centre of this magnificent Chapel  

is the elaborate tomb of the founder,  

Henry VIT. who died in 1509. The  

beautiful craftsmanship of this tomb was  

the work of Pietro Torrigiano, and is  

itself regarded as one of the wonders of  

the Abbey it took six years to complete.  

Among the many royalties buried in the  

Chapel are Queen Elizabeth (d. 1603) and  

her victim, Mary Queen of Scots, who  

was beheaded in 1587. There, also, are the  

tombs of Charles 11, of Queen Anne and  

her seventeen children. The last king to  

be buried in the Chapel was George II  

in 1760.  

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was  

buried with all the pomp and ceremony  

of king in the Chapel of Henry VII,  

but after the Restoration his body was  

removed and hung from the gallows at  

Tyburn. His head, which is still in exist-  

ence, was stuck on pike on Westminster  

Hall for twenty-five years.
