THE MEDIEVAL SACRISTY OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 June 2020
Abstract
This paper draws upon documentary, visual and archaeological evidence to chart the development of the sacristy of Westminster Abbey from its construction as one of the earliest parts of the abbey’s thirteenth-century rebuilding to its demolition in the mid-eighteenth century − a story that reflects wider changes of religious and political history.
