Visit to Westminster Abbey, 27 July 2016

 

On Wednesday 27th July a party of Crawley Circle brothers, ladies and friends visited England’s premier church and centre of pageantry, Westminster Abbey. The party congregated at The Methodist Central Hall café where we had lunch. We then crossed the road to the Abbey where we met our Blue Badge Guide. As an official tour party we entered by the side door and through the cloister. Entering the Abbey is a wonderful experience, the eye-catching colour, gilt, statuary and tombs are overwhelming at first. Once your senses have adjusted there is so much to see and learn. Our guide, Vicky, was able to impart so much of interest so very easily that everyone enjoyed the tour. When and where will be our next trip was asked by many?
