There is also an Archbishop buried here, as appears by a very antique figure in a mass habit, engraven on a brass plate, and placed on a flat stone in the pavement, over the remains of Robert de Waldeby, who, as appears by the inscription, was first an Augustine monk, and attended Edward the Black Prince into France, where, being young, he prosecuted his studies, and made a surprising progress in natural and moral philosophy, physic, the languages, and in the canon law; and, being likewise an elegant preacher and sound divine, was made Divinity Professor in the University of Toulouse, where he continued till called by Richard II. Goodman, Dean of Westminster, by whose recommendation, in 1575, he was made second master of Westminster School, and began the glorious work of his Antiquities, encouraged thereto and assisted by his patron, Dr

The Feast of St Edward at Westminster Abbey - CDA67586 - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads
This disc contains music you might hear if you visited Westminster Abbey on the Feast of the Translation of Edward, King and Confessor, which falls on 13 October. In the final, climactic section the choir seems to disintegrate into chaos as all the voices sing the music in their own time, like a babble of praise, coming together again only for the final phrase

Westminster Abbey
With their history dating back to 1939 in British Columbia, the monks have played an important role in the region providing schooling for young men with an unfailing work ethic of Pray and Work. These historic grounds are home to a community of thirty Benedictine monks which live the motto of their order Ora et Labora (Pray and Work) as well as the Seminary of Christ the King (a high school and college for young men)
Seminary of Christ the King 2004
The Seminary of Christ the King in its Secondary School, Arts, and Theology departments gives special attention to character and spiritual formation centered on the liturgy and builds on foundations of faith and reverence laid primarily in a Christian family. The Seminary is convinced of the advantage of maturing within a community of like-minded students and of pursuing priesthood studies in a setting where Church seasons and feasts help to make real the mysteries of the faith and create a supportive environment for academic life

Westminster Abbey, London
In the nave you find the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, a World War I soldier who died on the battlefields in France and was buried here in French(!) soil. History A church stood here already in the eight century but the history of the current abbey starts in 1050, when King Edward The Confessor decided to build a monastery
Elizabeth I, Mary I, Mary II, Edward the Confessor, Edward I, Edward III, Edward VI, Henry III, Henry V, Henry VII, James I, George II, Richard II, Charles II and William III are all buried in wonderful Westminster Abbey. And there's some speculation over whether the remains of Edward V (murdered by Richard III?) is among the 17 monarchs who rest here - DNA testing has proved inconclusive
Tudor Times The 16th century finds the Tudor monarchs influencing the history of the Abbey: Henry VII started to build the Lady Chapel, Henry VIII dissolved the monastery (but spared the Abbey) and Elizabeth I established the Abbey as the foremost cathedral in England (a position it only held briefly). The earliest record of the site of Westminster Abbey being used for religious purposes dates to the mid 10th century, when St Dunstan arrived at what was then known as Thorny Island to establish a religious house for the Benedictine order
