St Margaret's Church, Westminster
St Margaret's Church, Westminster, Anglican parish church in Westminster, United Kingdom.
Saint Margaret's Church stands within Westminster Abbey grounds, adjacent to the Palace of Westminster and the British Parliament Square in London.
Benedictine monks established this church in the twelfth century to provide Westminster residents with a simpler place of worship than the abbey.
The building contains notable stained glass windows from 1509, created to commemorate the engagement between Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII.
Visitors can explore the church interior during opening hours, which are more restricted than those of the neighboring Westminster Abbey.
The church, known as the House of Commons Church, has served as the official parish church of the Palace of Westminster since 1614.
