Today we visited Westminster Abby. Westminster is an amazing old church that was built by several past kings. The most interesting part is all of the old tombs of the famous people buried there. There were many famous military officers, famous authors, kings and queens, and scientists. I was most surprised to find Isaac Newton's grave.
