Westminster Abbey
At the heart of English history for nearly a thousand years, Westminster Abbey has been the setting for every coronation (except two) since 1066. Only the Pyx Chamber and Norman Undercroft are original to the abbey; the Gothic nave and choir were rebuilt in the thirteenth century. At least two ghosts haunt Westminster Abbey, in the form of Monks who used to work in there. In 1932 a Benedictine monk was seen floating some distance from the floor, disappearing through a wall opposite the south transcept!
