The Hidden Meaning Behind the Great Pavement of
Westminster Abbey.
Before the high altar in Westminster Abbey lies a priceless pavement which has been hidden beneath a protective carpet since the early 1900s. The author, in this book, has brought his knowledge as an art historian to bear on the problem of unravelling its secret message.
Laid down by Italian craftsmen in 1268 for the philosopher king Henry III is was covered by a protective carpet for greater part of the 20th century.
Foster examines the history and the design of the pavement and concludes that the mode of thought behind it accords remarkably with much of our scientific conceppts today.
