St Margaret's Church

St Margaret's Church was founded in the 12th century by Benedictine monks. It was the site of many significant events, including the engagement of Catherine of Aragon with Henry VIII, which was commemorated in 1509 with a stained glass window existing until today. In St Margaret's Church rest rest include William Caxton (first British printer) and Walter Raleigh (sailor and writer, seeker of the legendary El Dorado, executed for plotting against James I).

The temple was rebuilt many times. Its current equipment dates back to 1877, when a general reconstruction took place, carried out by George Gilbert Scott. It has retained the elements of the previous design, including stained glass windows commemorating, among others John Milton, creator of "Paradise Lost" and admiral Robert Blake - an outstanding sailor, conqueror of the Spanish fleet during the war of 1655-1660.

St Margaret's Church was the place of many important weddings. On September 12, 1908, the future Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill, pronounced the sacramental "yes" to marry Clementine Hozier.
