Gothic architecture. The Abbey was consecrated on December 28, 1065. King Edward the Confessor, who had the church built, died a few days later. He was the first of many English monarchs buried there.
Over the next couple centuries, Westminster Abbey saw many changes and additions. The seventeenth century architect Nicholas Hawksmoor designed the western towers to blend with the older sections of the Abbey.
