Everything about The Henry Vii Lady Chapel totally explained
The
Henry VII Lady Chapel is a large
Lady chapel at the far eastern end of
Westminster Abbey built in the
Perpendicular Gothic style.
The Chapel was built in
1503 by the architect and statesman Sir
Reginald Bray, one of
Henry VII's closest advisors. Henry VII was buried in the Chapel on his death in
1509 in a tomb designed by the
Italian artist and sculptor
Torrigiani, although the chapel was originally intended for
Henry VI. It is one of the first examples of the
Renaissance in
Britain, and the chapel itself is one of the best examples of
Perpendicular Period architecture.
The chapel is also the
mother church of the
Order of the Bath.
