St. Stephen's Chapel

St. Stephen's Chapel was a historic chapel located within the Palace of Westminster in London, built in the 14th century during the reign of King Edward III. It served as a royal chapel and a venue for important church and state ceremonies, notably hosting the coronation of King Richard II in 1377. Architecturally, it is an example of early Gothic design, featuring intricate stonework and large stained-glass windows. Although it was largely destroyed in the 16th century during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, its remains influenced later Gothic Revival architecture and it is remembered as a significant religious and royal site in England's history.
