The historic chapel is the final resting place for many of England's greatest monarchs.
Henry VIII had a window built over the Quire so his first wife Catherine of Aragon could pray in the chapel.Inside the chapel, on the north side, is the George VI Memorial Chapel. The Queen's father is buried in here, along with her mother and her sister Margaret, who was cremated because there wouldn't have been room otherwise.
King Henry VIII is buried under the Quire, with his favourite wife Jane Seymour. He had plans for a much grander tomb - but he died before it could be built. Charles I is also buried in here - his burial was secretive following his beheading. Also in this vault is the body of a child of Queen Anne. King Edward IV, who began the building of the chapel, was buried there in 1483 after the tumultuous years of the War of the Roses.
