Westminster Quay Market

Built in 1097 on orders of William (Rufus) II, son of William the Conqueror, to show his new subjects the majesty of his authority, it was, and still is, a magnificent architectural achievement. But even more significant has been its role in some pivotal historical moments in British history.

Architectural Wonders

It was Europe’s largest, 73 x 20 metres, so large that the royal household usually ate elsewhere. The outside stone walls were at least two metres (6 feet) thick, and slightly curved making it thicker in the centre. They were plastered, painted and hung with drapes.

The roof was the most impressive. It was centrally unsupported, hammer-beams of English oak, resting on wall buttresses, commissioned in 1393. The lanterns to let smoke out came four years later, and the roof was finished in 1401, with 176 tons of lead.
