Founded in 1065 by Edward the Confessor, and located in the modern London borough of Westminster, the Abbey—originally a church attached to a convent—is the site for the coronation of every English monarch (except for Edward V and Edward VIII) since it was rebuild in 1245 by Henry III as a resting place for the canonised Edward. It is also where many notables of English society—including Charles Darwin and —are buried.
