British Sign Language guide Edward Richards explores the fascinating stories of this historic coronation church

Take in over 1,000 years of history as you tour this magnificent building, visiting spaces as varied as the colourful Lady Chapel and the soaring nave. Learn about the lives and legacies of people buried and remembered in the Abbey, while walking in the footsteps of both monks and monarchs.
