Image
Below is a list of some world famous graves and tombs worth visiting. 1. Westminster Abbey, London Once, only kings and queens of England were buried in a church known as Westminster Abbey in London. But if you visit the Abbey today, you will see not only the graves of kings and queens, but also of statesmen like Oliver Cromwell, of scientists like Isaac Newton, of poets like Geoffrey Chaucer, and of composers like George Frideric Handel. Some of the graves are so simply marked that you can walk right over them, and not even know it. You might be standing on the grave of Lord Tennyson in the floor, while you are looking at the grave of Chaucer ion the wall.
