Begun in 1292, the royal chapel of St Stephen was the crowning glory of the old palace of Westminster – a place of worship for kings and a showcase for the finest architecture the Plantagenets could muster.

But in 1548, as the Protestant Reformation reached its height, St Stephen’s was given a new purpose as the House of Commons. Threading together religion, politics, art, architecture and narrative history, John Cooper tells the story of the lost chapel, an iconic building that reflects the national transition from medieval divine-right monarchy to modern parliamentary democracy.
