Waltham Abbey Church
A Norman church, the reputed site of King Harold´s tomb. Founded by King Harold in 1060, the church was rebuilt in the 12thC and was part of a much larger abbey, dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540. The lady chapel and crypt (now a visitors´ centre and shop) date from the 14thC and the tower from the 16thC. The east end was restored in the 19thC; the rose window was designed by Edward Burne-Jones. Other notable features are the painted ceiling, the Denny monument, the "Doom" painting in the Lady Chapel, the pulpit, altar and font.
