Buried At Westminster - The Abbey Poets (Audiobook)
- +

Read by Richard Mitchley (Unabridged: 1hr 27mins)

Featuring poems by Geoffrey Chaucer, Aphra Behn, John Dryden, Ben Jonson, Katherine Phillips, Robert Browning, Thomas Hardy & others.

Westminster Abbey has seen much during its long, rich history.  The coronations of Kings and Queens, the burials of Prime ministers. However it is also a church that remembers the men and women of the arts. 

Dedicated writers and poets who spoke so eloquently that the Nation wished to bid farewell on a stage grand enough to match their talents. 

Their talents and works are worth remembering and here, in this volume, their wise words speak too and for us all.
