BSL Tour: Coronations

Created by Westminster Abbey

Join British Sign Language guide Edward Richards for a captivating tour covering nearly 1,000 years of coronations

Examine the 700-year-old Coronation Chair, stand next to the Coronation Theatre and gaze upon the stunning Cosmati Pavement as you hear highlights from the 39 coronations that have taken place since 1066. Find out how oaths, anointing and music have shaped the crowning of monarchs for centuries as you explore the key spaces in the Abbey that bring the Crown to life.
