Book Description
The Chapel of St Nicholas is the chapel at the east end of the South Ambulatory of the Abbey. It does not feature on the Abbey’s audio guide, but is of interest for several of the individuals buried here. The only family entitled as of right to be buried in the Abbey is the family of the Duke of Northumberland. The entrance to the Northumberland vault is situated in this chapel. The vault holds 30 members of the family including the father of the founding donor of the Smithsonian Institution and the most recent arrival, the widow of the 10th Duke of Northumberland, who died in 2012. Other families well represented here are the Seymours and the Cecils. The first ‘resident’ to arrive was Philippa de Mohun, Duchess of York, who died in 1431.

Book Description
The Chapel of St Edmund is one of the last chapels on the visitor route around the Abbey and does not feature on the Audio Guide. It is easy to pass by without entering. Indeed, it is probably the least visited of all the major chapels open to the public. At this stage of a tour most visitors will be keen to take in Poets’ Corner and the not-to-be-missed Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries. Nonetheless, the Chapel contains an interesting collection of ‘residents’, the first arrival being King Henry III’s half-brother, William de Valence in 1296 and the last being Lord Lytton, the popular Victorian novelist, who died in 1837. The Dean of the time thought it appropriate that he be buried here alongside Sir Humphrey Bourchier, rather than in the South Transept with Charles Dickens and the other novelists, because Sir Humphrey, a casualty of the Wars of the Roses, featured as a character in one of Lytton’s novels.
